Three Excellent Women

...of comedy and drama —

In no particular order:
• Mindy Sterling (Frau Fabrissina, the cohort of Dr. Evil from Mike Myers' Austin Powers franchise)
• Linda Hunt (Ilsa Grunt in "If Looks Could Kill")
• Fran Lebowitz (not Lei-, so take note of that) — In terms of cutting wit, she's on the same level as Professor Sidney Morgenbesser and physicist Lev Landau)

Common denominators: These women are all short... (ish), witty (on screen or off screen or both), and accomplished. I realized that Lebowitz and Hunt are also lesbians, which makes the mix all the more fabulous :>

Moreover, they all belong to the same generation, and before knowing any better, I'd sometimes mix at least the first two up in my mind as the same person, one or the other.

Another witty woman of the same generation is Carrie Fisher.

(Oh, no men to speak of from the same generation, cuz I don't know of any >:-)

Sometimes it feels as if the three are really the same person, or three sisters of the same family scattered around the country.

The reason I wrote this, is because I somewhat stumbled upon a post written about Lebowitz by Stephen at post apocalyptic bohemian [sic].

So much of that :>
