“She knows this scene is a large opportunity, but she doesnât milk it; she stays true to the character, the real, strange person who is always alive somewhere even in Kahnâs most outrageous inventions.”
Not to be missed: Dan Callahan’s 5 for the day: Madeline Kahn.

Dan’s comments about Judy Berlin were wonderfully written. It hit me in the core. I loved Madeline Kahn, and I was really hurt when I saw Judy Berlin–much of that performance was painful for me. Dan really captured some of the same things I thought about that movie. I was guilty of seeing her as a comic mastermind, and never completely saw the potential for broader, deeper things. My deep mistake.
DBW – Dan’s observations there really struck me too.
