Withering Sight



Or
Enough is Enough, Arthur. Bury the Bitch!
(Props to Monty for both)
Geraldine Fitzgerald, whose starring film career was thwarted by her temper in the 1940s has died at 91. Fitzgerald held her own with Bette Davis in "Dark Victory," then won an Oscar nomination for playing Isabella in "Wuthering Heights," but her frequent rebellions at Warner Bros. earned her a number of suspensions and derailed her career. She had originally come to the U.S. to act with Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater, and returned to the stage after her film career turned to character roles, winning a Tony nomination in 1982. Fitzgerald also played Arthur’s mother Martha in "Arthur" and is the third "Arthur" co-star to become caught between the moon and New York City this year, following Barney Martin and Stephen Elliott.
