Steve's Monologue
Based on the painting:
A Grotesque Old Woman
There are three roles for women in Hollywood: babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy. My life has been very fulfilling as I have, throughout the years, been able to play all these roles. But before I leave this life, I want my story to be told so without further ado, here is my story.
My name was Lola, yes I was a show girl, but that was 50 years ago when they used to have a show and when I used to have a body. I was one of the best. I was a huge star not as big as Fred or Ginger, but my fans loved me. While Betty Davis was probably lying and Greta Garbo was probably crying with Robert Taylor locked in her dying embrace, I was with Chico, Groucho, Chaplain and Lloyd who were all super, and I loved sweet Mickey Mouse, Shirley Temple, and dear Jackie Cooper. I kept up with the best and all that jazz. Mmm so many memories. That truly was the time of my life, I had great friends, a disposable account, and because we were living in a material world, I was a material girl. I also had many opportunities to be like Elisabeth Taylor, but I never wanted to get married. For years people looked at me like I was Sandra Dee lousy with virginity, then one day it was all taken away. Yes, I got my first wrinkle. The next thing you know I am playing a district attorney on LA Law, me in syndication. Just as fast as I entered the second stage, I entered the final stage. I was offered the role of Dorothea Spornack on the Golden Girls; it was good money so I took it. For ten years I played that role and made lifelong friends out of Rue, Betty and Estelle. When the series ended so did my career, I thought it was over. Until one day I received a call from VH1, they offered me another gig, probably my last. So for the final chapter of my life as an actor, in the fall of 2006 I will become one of the newest cast members of the Surreal Life.
So that is my story in a nut shell. My name is Bea "Maude" Author. Good Night and Good Luck.
