So perhaps I’m alone in this but I didn’t know who Elaine Stritch was until I saw this doc. Oh Elaine. What a LEGEND.
Trust a bitch and watch this. Like on a Sunday or Monday when you’re wildly unwell from the weekend shenanigans and drip-sweating vodka soda. *Its been 3 years since I watched this and I no longer find myself unwell on Mondays. Rejoice!
Elaine is unapologetically one of us. She’s lived many lives and here we are baring witness to it all.
For some backstory, Elaine is an incredibly famous broadway star and actress known for both her talent and semi-erratic, mostly hysterical personality. She dabbled in alcoholism but is mainly just a bad-ass bitch with a real understanding of life. Why mention the alcoholism you classless bitch, Danielle?!?!? Because, we can all relate to having vices, regardless of the scale and seeing her endure is inspiring.
We follow her as she preps for one of her final shows and are given an intimate look into the mind and life of this troubled star. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! She’s just like all of us…that is, stressed, eager to please, achievement oriented and so much more.
Wait, one more spoiler alert; she hates pants and refuses to wear them. I meannnnnnnnn - the bitch is 88!!!! QUEEN.
