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!

the emmys

having read other blogs and reports on the programme i didn't watch because i was on the other channel supporting my yankees, my favourite quote so far is from ken levine:

"Has Helen Mirren ever NOT won? If there’s a nuclear attack I want to be under Helen Mirren."

i'm not sure i understand it but i'm terribly drawn to it.
