Virginia O'Brien and her Frozen Face

I have just discovered her. I think I'm in love.

That face! That stare! That voice!

proto-Tom Lehrer levels of brutality

dear lord

amazing!!

Oh wow, I hadn't watched that last one. The 'Say That We're Sweethearts Again' vid is hilarious, though she makes too many expressions in it.

it's late-period O'Brien when she was trying to broaden herself a bit, but it's still astounding

famous for things like this

Yep! (I have been bombarding myself with her youtubes this evening so will have seen a fair few, but please post up as many as you can! I am also over-using exclamation marks in relation to her... she's that good!)

or how about her version of 'laughing place' where she pronounces every single transcribed laugh aloud

i.e. she does not have a laughing place

can't find them on youtube but she has some fascinating yodeling numbers

Ooooh, yodelling.

This one gets GREAT when she comes in:

ah that one's great! horrifying ending!

there's much better from her than I can find on youtube really so this is the last thing I can easily find to post, terrible song made unbelievable by sheer anti-charisma (and admittedly, her outfit)

though again, I can tell you didn't post that one because she's over-emoting

And also as I don't like the song as much. Although I'm completely enamoured of the unflinching deadpan expression, that lip-bite and eyeroll move is killer (from about 1.14). And the yawn at the end...

it is/was her birthday today! She is such an inspiration.

YAY

this college radio DJ redeemed himself by playing the sweethearts song.
