We still miss you.
[More Madeline here]
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

I am "THE" Eunice Burns
"I can’t even really tell a joke. I find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it and I feel guilty saying that, but it’s the truth. I love my work but it ain’t easy."
"It`s acceptable for men to act the fool. When women try, they`re considered aggressive and opinionated."
"Mel Brooks is sensual with me. He treats me like an uncle. A dirty uncle."
"I am not "A" Eunice Burns, I am "THE" Eunice Burns!"
Madeline Kahn, 29th September 1942 - 3rd December 1999.
