5. Rosalind Russell, no contest!

That lady was terrific, I adore all of her movies. And she put the glamour in the movie MAME!

10. Rosalind Russel WAS Mame

All the others were just cheap impressions of her performance.

12. No one else but Rosalind Russell. When I was a little girl, I wanted to

be Mame when I grew up.

8. *Sigh* Nobody gets it.

"Mame" was the name of a movie? I didn't know. The MAME I meant was this one: http://www.mame.net

17. I was looking for a pic of my MAME cabinet to post

but couldn't find one. I dismantled it a few years ago because it was too hard to move.

The best part was my homemade Tempest spinner, made out of an old mouse, a stereo tuner dial and a flywheel made from big steel washers.

15. I Would Have Loved To Seen Angela Lansbury's Stage Performance As Mame

... she was very disappointed that she wasn't chosen for the screen version of the musical. Apparently the studios thought that it would be safer to go with someone who had more star-power and name recognition at the time.

I love both the Lucille Ball and Rosalind Russell versions. But between the women who played Vera Charles... BEA ARTHUR is my favorite!
