I certainly was not the romantic lead. I couldn't be that, because I was not that good looking. And that is something about Hollywood that I do not like at all. Why can't a woman who is just normally good looking fall in love? I mean, everybody in the movies is so good looking.
Elaine StritchIโd like to discover life. Quite frankly I donโt know how to be happy. I have not a clue. I only serve โ and I donโt say that with any grandeur. I just serve others through entertaining. Thatโs when I am happy. Iโm not just delighted with myself when Iโm entertaining, but Iโm happier than when Iโm not.
Elaine StritchWell if I had my choice I would not - I wouldn't mind working with Alec Baldwin, but the mother role - I'm kidding. It's terrific. I'll tell you what happened with Alec Baldwin and myself. This is a couple acting together just this side of heaven. He's one of the best actors I've ever worked with in whole life. And I - I'm not overdoing it. I just think he's about the best around today. So I got lucky.
