Joanne Woodward



Clara Varner (Joanne Woodward) in "The Long, Hot Summer" (1958) Martin Ritt -Director, has sass large enough to neutralize Papa Vill Varner and Ben Quick....


Agnes Stewart: Why aren't there enough men to go around?
Clara: There's no shortage. Just of the right kind.
Agnes Stewart: Ooh, I'm not fussy on that subject.
Clara: Neither am I.

Elliot Gould

Elliot resurrects Private Eye Phillip Marlowe in Robert Altman's "The Long Goodbye" (1973)
Too cool for school, he chain-smokes his way through each scene grumbling like "Wimpy",  contretemps with cops and robbers and never a hint of agitation.
And the scenes of his 5 attractively adoring hippie neighbors clad in what only G-d meant them to wear....
So 70's and so Altman
