It is a well settled principle of politics and show business that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” This spoof from Pee Wee Herman says more about Melissa Leo than it does about Mr. Herman. It proves that Melissa Leo has now become a part of American culture. Yes, she did win an Oscar for her outstanding performance of Alice Ward in “The Fighter” and that accomplishment alone gives her a great legacy as an actress. Now, however, she is being satirized! Kristin Wiig did it first on “Saturday Night Live.” Now Pee Wee Herman and Jimmy Kimmel. Where will it stop? Probably never. Melissa Leo is one of the most outstanding actresses of our time. She will be satirized and spoofed for many years to come.
