I have to agree and just shake my head at her performance. I don't know what drew me to it so much. I didn't grow up with or know anyone like her. After the first hour or so of the first of the two parts I actually started to laugh at some of her lines which were actually quite hateful at times. I think I'll have to read the book and see how much of it is the writing and how much was the acting.

Actually just now I realized she may be close to someone I knew quite well. It was the mother of two guys I went to school with. After they moved out I spent a lot of time with her. About the age of my mother we were close and had lots of fun together but nothing sexual. She filled in a lot of my missing reality gaps and was a mother figure of sorts. We smoked pot together and listened to music. She is very responsible for helping shape my thinking in terms of the way I look at things, balance and some disdain and more importantly awareness of the downside of our recent culture. She was from northern Vermont, was a jazz scene club waitress in late 50's Boston and by the 70's was a white woman in a relationship with a black man. I really liked them both a lot. They split up by the mid 80's and it was tougher on her. By the late 80's she sold her house and moved to the art community of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. She was able to live their comfortably without having to work.
