I don't know... I think he could play the actress wife. He could wear a nice wig, like at the end of "Lucy Is Jealous Of Girl Singer", and then put on a high voice, and hey presto! On the other hand it might be better to leave that role to Gloria Swanson... :)

He'd probably scare me less than Gloria Swanson.

Gloria Swanson was cool. A very courageous woman, in her own way. Can't say that I've seen many of her films though!

Yeah...I think I'll start eating pie.
