Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, starring Jennifer Jason Leigh. That was a hard movie to watch, I had no idea how awful and unrelenting her tragedy was. She wrote w/such a light touch, compared to Sylvia's sturm und drang, but Ms. Parker had nowhere near the privileges Sylvia took for granted. I felt my own life draining out of me while watching Jennifer play Dorothy Parker, it seemed she became Dorothy Parker while filming, I can only imagine what that must have done to her psyche. I left the theatre w/a new respect for her, petite little stick of dynamite.
Anyway, what Parker works are up for a vote?
