Remembering Thelma Ritter On Her Birthday
To me, Thelma Ritter (14 February 1902 - 5 February 1969) was the best character actor ever to appear on film. I loved her and believed everything she ever said. Co-incidentally, or is it, Ritter appeared in all my favorite films:
Just to name a few.
Ritter also delivered what I believe is the best comeback line ever to be uttered on film. In All About Eve Gary Merrill asks Ritter on his way out of town to direct a movie in Hollywood , "What do you want me to tell Tyrone Power ," Ritter responds, "Just give him my phone number. I'll tell him myself."Oh, how I love you Thelma Ritter . Happy Birthday.
