Madeline Kahn - biography

“Actually, I hold a degree in speech therapy.  I was going to get my doctorate but acting got in the way.  Pity, I always thought I’d like to do something dignified.”

“It’s acceptable for men to act the fool.  When women try, they’re considered aggressive and opinionated.”

“Mel Brooks is sensual with me.  He treats me like an uncle.  A dirty uncle.”
