The Woman!!!

Grin is my little star! Alright, she is not so little as she is taller than me unless I am in heels, but she shines bright! The Actor's Rep at school performed a one night production of the one of my all time favorite old movies/plays The Women. This was written in 1937 and adapted for screen in 1939. There are over 130 stars and they are all women. A man's voice is heard, but not one person or even animal on screen are men. It starred some of the best actresses of the time. It revolves around a Manhattan social wife and her husband. She finds he is having an affair and heads to Reno for a divorce. If you can ever watch it, do, it is wonderful.

So my little star played the housekeeper/cook in the Haynes household. The Haynes are the ones divorcing. She and the parlor maid are in the kitchen. The maid is recounting the argument she over heard to the housekeeper while eating pie. Below is her favorite part of the scene...















The last scene of the play is the climax fight scene between the two main characters. Grin now portrays a socialiate who is drunk at a swanky club. I believe in the movie it was the 21 Club. So below is my drunk teen.... She finished the whole bottle... (Luckily for us it was apple juice!)
