It Just Never Gets Old

You may remember this scene: moments after Suzanne Sugarbaker’s name has been trashed by a couple of caddy women in the dressing room, her sister comes to her defense. Taken out of context, Julia {Sugarbaker played by Dixie Carter} seems a little harsh, but it’s so on point in the moment. {Particularly because Julia seldom loses her cool.} I channel this scene, and let’s face it, all scenes involving Shirley MacLaine in any of her films too, when I have a particularly tough oral argument on the horizon or when I’m feeling vulnerable and life requires some zealous advocacy. These girls wear their pearls while they kick down the doors.
