Loved Her! Here's to Roseanna Roseanna Danna.
I put Gilda up there with some of the actual "great clowns" that graced the screen. Chaplin, Loyd, Lucy, Carol Burnett.
Salute!

Classy lady.
The so-called 'edgy' comedians could learn a lot from her.

In what little of her performances I had seen before this 'toon, she had a cute, gentle sweetness about her. At first, this caricature seemed a little harsh compared to the image I had of her (the exaggerated chin didn't seem to fit--made me think of Weird Al). After watching a couple SNL bits where she was too thin or distorting her facial expression, I can see how it works. Like the way you shaded her hair.

Hey T
That's the nature of caricatures. Thanks for the insight.

To be clear, an insight to my limited perception & the resulting mild discomfort of it being altered. Not a criticism of the caricature at all. I got to see something as I had not seen before.
