I now wear an excessive amount of make-up that is two shades too light for my skin tone. I also style my hair in Shirley Temple curls and wear a ribbon in my hair.

I forgot, it also makes me sing in front of a dance-floor mirror and pick out faded tunes on the piano while screeching into the mirror's reflection because my face is hideous. Then I drink more scotch and check on Blanche because it's only 11am in Hancock Park and I want to start piecing myself together/applying make-up so I can drive drunk into Larchmont Village to order a costume.

Put bits of liver in the candy box so I can gobble it up greedily because I don't eat chocolate on movie sets. I'm a disciplined actress that watches every calorie. Plus it might spoil my din din.

--always lift a tray with such effort as if it's the heaviest thing in the world...

--run up the stairs with a shyteating grin (momentarily forgetting about the heaviness of the tray I have just lifted with effort and am now carrying) knowing I'm going to ball bust someone after foiling their plan...

--open a door quickly and jut my head in threateningly to see what the person in the room is doing after I ran up the stairs with a shyteating grin (momentarily forgetting about the heaviness of the tray I have just lifted with effort and am now carrying) knowing I'm going to ball bust someone after foiling the plan they just carried out...

--always answer "Yahh.." when I don't want to speak to anyone...

--bend down to pick something off the ground before the nosy person with me does and act like nothing...

--listen up the stairs to see and hear the whereabouts of people in the house before I commence doing something underhanded....

--constantly roll my eyes at anything anyone has to say...

--constantly fling a dishtowel over my shoulder when I am doing something that requires both hands and drag my annoying slippers around the room...

Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...

--go to the most gullible bank teller when you wish to cash a fraudulent check, and claim "she gave me that last night".

--work out so you have the muscles to psychically drag another person from the house to the garage to inside the car to the beach to the sand on the beach

--you have the God-given right to be pissed if your film is not even-released-in- the-United States!

--If you have a phone by your bed for 20 yrs and being tormented--do not use it!..want until you have to crawl down the steps to the living room and use that one to call for help.

--while waiting for someone to freak-out over the broiled rat you served them, playing with your bracelet helps past the time

Politely, but disinterestedly answer "How nice for you" when people say things like, "I'm British, you know."

This thread is a hoot! Really funny quips here.

And, I actually DO say 'How nice for you'...But somehow every time I do the person thinks I'm being sarky - Well, most of the time I am.
