It's a Mel Brooks quote, althought someone recently told me that they heard a similar quote from Alfred Hitchcock...so who knows...

BRILLIANT CHARACTER! I used to argue if she was an easy character or a hard character to read...I am still not sure. She is easy to read, but leaves a lot to the imagination. Her character is quite bizarre...no doubt..but i love it! A hard character to figure out is Grace.

You should see my post "Why Lili had to die" on this board. (And I do know that the character's name is Grace, and that Lili is the actress who played her. The discussion just got started with "Lili" so to carry it through I kept that name for the title.)

I loved her, I would certainly have fallen in love with her..she was sexy....

She's kinda loopy, but cool.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think Faye Dunaway's character was overwritten and overplayed. I was relieved that her character pretty much disappears in the second half of the film, because that's when the movie picks up steam in my book.

Reminded me of Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd.
