    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Linda Lavin


    WarrenPeace — 1 year ago(December 31, 2024 01:01 AM)

    When I watch repeats of Alice I have to cringe of how bad the acting was on that show and I have to switch it off.
    Linda was not the worst but damn they were all bad.

      Why you gotta besmirch her legacy right now? Wait at least two months. 😛

        Yeah, too soon.
        Your right.
        I should have waited two minutes.
        My bad.
        But not as bad as her "acting!"

                Also, a pain in the ass to work with, apparently. Linda Lavin was reported as being difficult to work with and was jealous of Polly Holliday's popularity as Flo on the sitcom
                Alice
                . Even after Holliday left and her Spin-Off, Flo, ended after one season, she refused to make any guest appearances. Diane Ladd also had difficulties with Lavin and cited that as the reason she left the series after only a year.

                                Lavin was fine as Alice and I used to love the show. She was boosted by the support characters and in all due respect, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to step into Ellen Burstyn's shoes.
                                Norman! What did you put in my tea?
