What was it like playing a dead body for most of a movie? Lee Ving, who played Mr. Boddy in Clue, explains it with total sincerity. And it’s somehow both funny and fascinating.

Today we celebrate the birthday of the legendary Madeline Kahn, born September 29, 1942.

Her humor was fearless, her presence unforgettable, and her performances continue to inspire audiences and comedians alike.

Gone far too soon, but never forgotten.

Happy Birthday to Jeffrey Kramer, the iconic character actor who stole scenes in Jaws, Jaws 2, Halloween II, Santa Claus: The Movie and, of course, as the Motorist in Clue! (Wasn’t he in Who Done It: The Clue Documentary, as well? He certainly was!)

The next plot twist is that things are about to get really good. I think the world is going to open up for you in unimaginable ways. I think you’re walking into your best chapter yet. And finally you’re going to see where all of this has been leading. Or you’re about to step in dog crap.
