Good news Dorothy Parker fans: A small-screen Mrs. Parker is coming soon. Bebe Neuwirth, Lilith from Cheers and Frasier, as well as a star in Chicago and Damn Yankees on Broadway, will portray Dottie. A&E;’s original movie Dash and Lilly is coming out sometime in 1999. Directed by Kathy Bates, it’s the story of the relationship between literary icons Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellman, starring Sam Shepard and Judy Davis in the lead roles, and Neuwirth as Parker. I wonder how Parker will come across? Given that Hammett loathed Dottie (when she first met him, she kissed his hand). Hellman, a notorious liar and backbiter, turned on her friend Dottie in her later years. If anyone knows anything about this movie, let me know. We’ll do an online vote: who is the Most Devastating Dorothy, the Primo Parker, Neuwirth or Jennifer Jason Leigh?
