    Dude! Let the lady finish speaking and stop cutting her off and speaking over her. She's one of the finest actresses on Broadway.

    Like most poor interviewers, he doesn't know how to ask a follow-up question.
    Ellen makes an interesting statement and he sticks to his own agenda rather than following the path that her statement naturally leads one to wonder about.

    It's a real treat to hear what Ellen's REAL voice sounds like! I knew she didn't really talk like Audrey. Her natural voice is soft and gentle like her most famous character, but nowhere near as high pitched.

    I never realized just how much of Ellen’s natural mannerisms and demeanor went into Audrey. Obviously, the voice is exaggerated for comic effect and I doubt Ellen ever squeaks when rendered speechless, but The gestures and the cadence are the same.

    • @pysq8

    The interviewer and editor should be ashamed. The interviewer is rude and interrupts way too much. We are watching to hear HER speak. Let her tell the full story of her experiences. Stop talking to her like she's a moron. The editor cut parts of her story as well. We should appreciate authentic artists. Not to many of them left. Only Americans treat our icons like this.

    this guy sucks at doing interviews. He always interrupts the people he's interviewing, and the interview he did with Christian Borle was so awkward cause he brought up Christian's dead father and Christian looked so uncomfortable. Also he speaks too fast for himself like he'll interrupt the person then stutter for a minute then say his sentence. I can't stand this guy.

    Truthfully, neither ending is happy. If you think about it, Audrey II ends up being in their garden at their new house. That leaves you thinking, would they realize it was there in time? So technically there is no happy ending. This movie I think teaches us to go with your gut. Don't feed the plant even though Audrey II is trying to convince you.
