She sure seemed like it. Wasn't this before Ecstasy? Does coke make you act like that? Or did I miss the backstory references about the character having a lobotomy before she moved to New York?
shareYou sir, have made me lmao
shareI don't understand why you'd pick on Valerie Perrine. She's no worse than all the other professional* actors who also do their worst work in this movie.
What I want to know is: didn't the producer, Allan Carr, watch the dailies and see what awfulness was being recorded on film? Maybe he did, and realized that even if he'd fired Nancy Walker, it wouldn't have done any good because the script was less valuable than used toilet paper.
* the Village People are amateurs and can be forgiven
I don't know about Valerie Perrine, but Steve Guttenberg was on some mighty strong coke. Just look at the scene when he quits his job at the record store.
I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

I reckon the whole production team was high on something bad

Alan Carr, Val and Nancy Walker had a big screamfest/catfight in Carrs limo at one stage (read from PARTY ANIMALS)

Not Ecstasy--Cocaine, remember this was the early 80's. Apparently there was so much of it that a good portion of the film's budget went for the stuff.
shareGuttenberg must have been on something - especially in those ridiculous scenes of him skating/dancing/prancing around New York like a complete knob at the start
shareI've heard she has Parkinson's disease now at 75
