We are giving our respect and allegiance to Beatrice Straight’s brief but breathtaking BSA performance in 1976’s “Network,” as Louise Schumacher, elevating the betrayed wife to Shakespearean levels. Perhaps it’s her experience as one of the original One Scene Queens, Lady Macduff, who we also queen out about this week. Plus: Piper Laurie’s magnetic Margaret White in “Carrie,” the powerhouse that is Lee Grant, the Broadway version of Louise, Glenn Close in “The Wife,” how to eat a Ferrero Rocher, birthday celebrations, plans for a Why She Won It episode, love for BSA of Instagram and a whole new lens on a camp classic.Follow us!Email: thebsapod@gmail.comTwitter: @bsapodColin DruckerTwitter: @colindruckerInstagram: @colindrucker_Nick KochanovTwitter: @nickkochanovInstagram: @nickkochanov

Episode 18: Beatrice Straight - "Network" (1976)

I have always wanted the opportunity to queen out on Beatrice Straight’s Oscar winning performance in 1977’s “Network.” She’s one of my favorite Best Supporting Actress winners because of the economy of her performance; what she accomplishes in about five minutes of screen time is a true feat of layered, nuanced, lived in acting. Movies discussed:Network (1977)Poltergeist (1982)The Promise (1979)“Grey Reminder” (1951)Get in touch!inthedetailspod@gmail.com@colindrucker (Twitter)/colindrucker (YouTube)
