Nailing those drama queen moves
AP: Honorable Mention 2026
actress wears gorgeous light-up shoes
on a talk show, she is the news
make up perfect, her eyes aglow
she’s a delight on this cute show
we would stare at her on my street
her outfit is totally complete
she looks polished and quite unique
from head to heel, sophisticated and so chic
Loretta Jane Swit
always possessed of great wit
wasn’t content slinging hash
and became head nurse in MASH
(Hint: à la "Heart" from "DAMN YANKEES")
You gotta be smart
If you wanna get a part
In a movie or a play on Broadway
There are dues you must pay,
Play it smart.
If you've put on some weight,
Make sure your headshot's up-to-date.
Kid, you ain't the only blonde who can act,
There are some fat ones, in fact,
But, lose the weight.
When you go to an audition,
One that's like a "cattle call",
Show your talent, heart, ambition,
A little leg,
Hell! Show it all.
Just say, oh screw it!
Disrobe and do it.
And when you finally get cast,
There's a way to make it last.
You can marry a producer, of course,
One who'll keep your sweet a**e performing art,
And art is all about heart…
Some talent helps, but mostly heart…
And T and A, but lotsa heart…
But first you gotta be smart.
This fine lady was both beautiful and funny.
What a rare combination for an actress to see.
We will always remember her for "Young Frankenstein" and "Tootsie".
Many other performances increased her popularity.
Teri became encumbered with multiple sclerosis, unfortunately.
This ended her life very recently.
However, Teri's screen performances gave her immortality.
Teri Garr
(1945-2024)
from a news story found on aol.com
American actress that had a ball,
Her madcap antics behaviors enthrall
Millions "I Love Lucy" fans
With musical pots and pans
Desi Arnaz affairs her sad downfall.

Nancy was one pretty flapper, even if it was pretend
The photographer loved her photo the best to the end.
Nancy Carroll, an actress and model he fell for right away.
He kept her photo on his mantle until his very last day.
We know she's an actress
by the way she rolls her eyes
Rock N Roll widows always recall
insecure ventures down the stairways
what is your maiden surname?
the truth is always a chore
is that what we call eternal strife ?
reply to the minor bird,
cast a side eye
over the broad estate
you inherited
from your endearing sighs
roses at my feet
roaring crowds filling the hall
luminous actress.
Rani Chandra born in seventy-six
was a gorgeous Hindu actress
winner of the Miss Kerala pageant
famous throughout India and now the world
our country cheered her on with glee
Anita Page's image wore well,
Rustling silk having carried her
But beneath her celluloid gaiety
And the nuance of her blonde curls.
I sensed something more apposite
The glint in her eye,
Reminding me of a mood dance,
Lasting deep into the scene.
A fluid transition into interpretation,
She felt the spoken word could not convey.
An only child, actress, singer, nightclub entertainer
Jayne Mansfield.
Her movie Too Hot to Handle made sense to the people who knew her.
A tomato, lightning, a bonfire, married and divorce numerous times.
She loved her five children and kept her Playboy playmate figure.
Dying in a car crash in New Orleans at the young age of thirty-four.
She lived as if she knew she was running out of time.
Maude Fealy was a gorgeous movie star in the nineteen hundreds.
Her soulful blue eyes shouted out of the screen at the audience.
Her parents disowned her when she began making “pictures”.
She tried to get back into their graces, but it was a failed attempt.
They never saw her on the screen or knew how much she was loved.
Her curly hair was talked about by hundreds of people for a long time.
Madonna is eclectic, multi-talented too, a humdinger
She has been a producer, a director, actress and singer
Song-writing has come natural as do many other things
She is impressive no matter what direction her ideas bring
Harky is a dramatic ten-year-old girl.
Intense with high drama, at a constant pace.
First story she wrote in first grade had seventeen exclamation marks.
Teacher complained at parent-teacher conference.
Mother laughed “Have you met her?” she asked.
I have met her.
I meet her a lot. I am the school counselor.
She rushes into my room on a regular basis.
Flops herself down and turns on her automatic faucet.
She could be an actress. She can turn tears on for a sandwich.
Sometimes I say “Turn the tears off. I don't have much time."
She can do this in about half a second.
I know she is going to make it In Hollywood.
I will be glad to see her there…..
instead of in my office.
