Pardon My Parody: So You Wanna Be An Actress

(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.

A Quality Actress Has Gone Away

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.

This ended her life very recently.
However, Teri's screen performances gave her immortality.

Actress

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

Gorgeous Hindu Actress

Anita Page Actress

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.

Too Hot To Handle

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.

Dying in a car crash in New Orleans at the young age of thirty-four.
She lived as

They never saw her on the screen or knew how much she was

Song-writing has come natural as do many other things
She is impressive no matter what direction her ideas bring

Harky Actress At My School

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

The Final Act

I come from a family of thespians
Who turned hiding their problems into art.
Inside these walls,
We cry. We yell.
But from within these walls,
The sounds never depart.

Yet, 
somewhere among the act,
I lost the talent.

My heart can't hide anymore.
My eyes sting, my throat burns--
They're all pretending
but my heart's just too sore.

What show will be my final?
In what performance

Screen Idol

Screen Idol. 
.
The illuminated silver screen was pleasantly graced
By a starlet with presence and a beautiful youthful face
A fem fatale the voyeur audiences characteristic charmer
Of many nail biting thriller and historical drama
The luscious vivacious fragrant flower
Who’s sensuality and allure wielded power
The tantalizer seducing the leading man
Eating out of her pkayful  hand
The monochrome soft focused
