Mount Olympia
I worked for Olympia Dukakis. Did I tell you this?
She is Greek. Very Greek. We're talkin' "Zorba the Greek" Greek. Her brother's name is Apollo. APOLLO, ok? And I'm sure her parents were Zeus and Hera and at holidays they sat around in breastplates with spears. I'm all for racial pride - I mean, I'm Swedish, but we didn't sit around at Christmas with big Viking helmets on...
But I guess when you're named OLYMPIA you've got that stuff hot-wired into you. If she were born Ethel Dukakis, it might have been a different matter.I was her assistant and in awe of her. That lasted one week. There's nothing that knocks a famous actress off her pedestal quicker than having to buy her pantyhose.
One day I decided to take her acting class and show her where my real talents laid. Well, I was up there doing "Tom" from Glass Menagerie and I realized, "She not even paying attention. When she looks at me all she's thinking is Nude or Taupe." Needless to say, I packed up shortly there after and moved to NYC.
