      Frederick Combs you’re not kidding. This lady set the bar what what a witched witch is. Everyone’s image of a witch somehow stems from her portrayal in some way. Everything about her performance was impeccable and flawless from the voice, the cackle, everything. The tragedy was she wasn’t nominated for best supporting actress Oscar for that performance.

      True evil cannot see itself accurately. It is full of delusions of grandeur about itself. A type of blindness. It takes one with enough emotional intelligence and compassion to see a villain for what it truly is and to therefore play the role accurately.

    It surprises me how short that interview was. I thought today the interviews were short. She was remarkable and I love how she talks about big stars and she doesn't realize that she was and will always be a big star. She passed in 1885. I was just about to turn 4. Growing up it was my favorite movie. She was so funny and so kind. I think her advice I say spot on. Animals are very sensitive and they need love. Kids can be a bit crazy around them and you have to teach them how to behave around them and how to treat them. Christmas is not the time.

Her agent was silent, and was taken a back that Margaret asked that question. And he said, "Aah, the witch." As if she would be asked to play anything else!

    She was sweet ... people asking for funds from mailing lists of elderly people (who they are counting on having some level of confusion) should be outlawed, however. I know from my parents' experience, it is very common in the US. They get pleas for assistance from random groups in their mailbox every day. They cannot distinguish from a legitimate organization and a scam artist (who could?). *A good rule of thumb for the generous elderly: give to people you have sought out, not those who seek you out through third class mail*
