Step Out of Line

We love "The Marvellous Mrs Maisel". As old Gilmore Girls fans, we were delighted that Amy Sherman-Palladino recast her characters as Jewish New Yorkers in the late 1950's/early 1960's. We love these strong women. And I was blown away this morning to read a piece about Alex Borstein, aka Suzie, quoting her acceptance speech at the Emmy awards yesterday:


Just to reiterate:

"My grandmother was in line to be shot into a pit ... she turned to a guard and she said, "What happens if I step out of line?" and he said, "I don't have the heart to shoot you but somebody will." And she stepped out of line, and for that I am here and for that my children are here, so step out of line ladies, step out of line."

Wow. Kol haKavod Alex B. Mazeltov & Happy New Year!
