Famous quotes containing the words outstanding, supporting, actress, comedy and/or series:

    “From time to time there appear on the face of the earth men of rare and consummate excellence, who dazzle us by their virtue, and whose outstanding qualities shed a stupendous light. Like those extraordinary stars of whose origins we are ignorant, and of whose fate, once they have vanished, we know even less, such men have neither forebears nor descendants: they are the whole of their race.”
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    “I hope you will be benefitted by your churchgoing. Where the habit does not Christianize, it generally civilizes. That is reason enough for supporting churches, if there were no higher.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “An actress reading a part for the first time tries many ways to say the same line before she settles into the one she believes suits the character and situation best.

    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.”

    “The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
