I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Logged on to make a post about Dolly Parton, only to see that we lost Tim Curry too. Always strive to do and be the most good that you can, and give your full self to every artistic pursuit in your life no matter how odd or offbeat, that's all I have to say. I'm going back to bed man, this sucks.

Wow! The manicurist in the Marx Bros.'s "A Night at the Opera" has finally been identified! That identity - Jean Burt Reilly - has been a holy grail of hard-core Marx fans. It turns out that she had a long, award-winning career as a hair stylist for movies and TV. IMDB updates have begun.

The manicurist in 'A Night of at the Opera' was played by Jean Burt (later, Jean Burt Reilly), per research by Robert Stryker of The Marx Brothers Council. The image shows some background information on, and images of, Jean Burt Reilly.
