Hugh Laurie is god-like, and I'm warming up to James Lipton's perpetual asskissing. He has a sweet dark voice.

"Faye Dunaway has said that during the filming, she felt Joan's presence on the set many times.

During Faye Dunaway's interview on Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio, James Lipton saved the topic of "Mommie Dearest" for the end of the interview, being as how Dunaway credits the film for ruining her career. When he comments on her appearance in the film as Joan, Dunaway says that she and the make-up artist worked for hours trying to get the "Crawford look". Finally Faye says she discovered that Joan looked the way she did because of the way she purposely held her facial muscles, thus explaining why Joan looked different in her very early career. Faye says "It was chilling.""

This is amazing stuff, even though I find James Lipton INSUFFERABLE.

This certainly deserves an upvote. James Lipton is probably the most pompous. self-important blowhard with a heart of gold. While being interviewed by Ali G, he claimed to not like the word "Ho" - and maybe this is the reason why. Very telling.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

True - DC, beerbongs are not your style ... The trick is you have to supress the gag reflex in the back of your throat. I learned that in college through experimentation with ... oh, nevermind.

Actually, I'm surprised James Lipton isn't better at it.

James Lipton is God.

GREAT post, PM...I love Spacey.

That's James Lipton, PM, the host of "Inside the Actor's Studio," one of the best and longest-running shows on Bravo. The show is actually a class, and it is regarded as one of the hallmarks for success...getting interviewed by Lipton is almost like getting an Oscar. Almost.

I loved how Spacey fell into the "student" role, like this was one of Lipton's acting classes and he was being fed improvisation parameters. I think Spacey was a little nervous. That's so cute.
