I stumbled in via this entry when I saw Bebe on some kinda bank commercial a bit ago and Googled her name. She's the definition of a great comedic character actress; she plays the same role every time but she always brings the truth to it, and she's so familiar that every time she shows up onscreen it's like an old friend just walked into the house, and she doesn't even have to open her mouth--she's been funny so many times in the past that you start laughing as SOON as you see her 'cause you know what's surely coming. I laughed the second the commercial started and she hadn't even said anything yet. I just love this blog.
