Quote #7
MARGO: (reading Addison's column) […] "Miss Harrington had much to tell, and these columns shall report her faithfully, about the lamentable practice in our Theater of permitting, shall we say…mature actresses to continue playing roles requiring a youth and vigor of which they retain but a dim memory."
"Professional mud-slinger" Addison has no problem brutally criticizing Margo in his column. He's perpetuating ageist beliefs in an attempt to benefit Eve by taking down Margo.
