September 1958. "Rosalind Russell in costume from the film Auntie Mame posed with author Patrick Dennis (E.E. Tanner III)." Photo by Douglas Jones for the Look magazine assignment "The Man Behind Auntie Mame."
From IMDB: "Domineering Harriet Craig holds more regard for her home and its possessions than she does for any person in her life. Among those she treats like household objects are her kind husband Walter, whom she has lied to about her inability to have children; her cousin Claire, whom she treats like a secretary; and her servants whom she treats like slaves."
For my money it's the role Joan lived. But Rosalind Russell actually breathes a little sympathy into the broken character in the end.
For my money Roz Russell fully deserved a win for her Oscar nomination. Her character Rosemary, the old maid school teacher always scared me. I could see myself ending up like her had I not changed my ways
