Problem with the Carnegie Hall Scene (Spoilers)

I don't really remember. Maybe there was an exchange of kindness and Florence got out her suitcase and added Agnes Stark to her will. Seems Florence did that several times during the film. I also sense Agnes (with her sexy looks) knew she was hot, hot, hot - and enjoyed the attention.

Agnes got to know Florence by that time, was mingling in their socialite circles and understood her a little better. She could have had some fiscal agenda; but she was also cared about the "protection" of Florence, just like St Clair did.

Who the hell is Agnes Stark?

Probably seeing how dedicated She was and how much her husband really enjoyed her performing. It was clear to everyone, including the "music lovers", that she was a bad singer but they would support her. With her husband being into it so much, she probably saw that Florence wanted to perform for good.

That or she already knew the show was hilarious first-hand so she wanted the others to shut up so she and they could all enjoy it. They all did afterwards.

I think deep down, Agnes simply had a good heart. She might have cracked up with surprised laughter seeing the first performance, but that was just her.

When it was a full hall of people jeering and ridiculing the poor lady, I think she felt empathy and realized how rude and awful these people were behaving. She realized that Florence's feelings were actually being hurt and she was being humiliated right there on stage.

Agnes was the kind of woman who couldn't stand to see another person being humiliated and treated like that, so she stood up for her. I think she's the type of woman that, when it came down to it, would have stood up for anyone being belittled and embarrassed in public like that. I'm sure she must have had instances in her own life where she, herself, was made to feel bad about herself by others.

I loved the character Agnes but she was made up for the story http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/florence-foster-jenkins/

The way I saw it, she connected with St. Clair and Cosmé and the rest of the Verdi Club gang starting with the after-party. And if her friends were going to stand by Florence, so was she.

Also note that Kathleen's playwright friend was laughing almost as hard as Agnes was at both performances but he was always the first to jump up and give her a standing ovation. Just because they thought her performance was ridiculous that doesn't mean they don't like her.

She was not alone in that. Kathleen's companion did the same. Those who see the sharpest often have the strength to defend the weak. Or ... become part of the lie. I liked that ambiguity.
