My Take
I have a soft spot for performers like Patsy Kelly who built careers in the supporting frame rather than the spotlight. Her wisecracking foil to Thelma Todd in the 1930s shorts is the kind of timing you cannot fake, and the fact that she kept working after Todd's death speaks to genuine grit. Winning a Tony in 1971, decades into her career, feels like overdue justice for a comic talent often taken for granted. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is earned. I value her durability and the honest craft behind every quick line.
