Title: Sweet Countess
Post by: Gothick on February 06, 2009, 08:43:48 PM

I wonder if I'm the only one here who sees a distinct resemblance between Grayson Hall as the Countess du Pres in today's magnificent screen shot, and Dr. Frank N. Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.  It looks as if Grayson is incanting these lines:

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite?
I could show you my favourite obsession.
I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension

Fun stuff!  Thanks to the MB for another glorious image!

Well, I never thought of the Countess as looking similar to Dr. Frank n Furter but now that you mention it...angular face, similar cut hair, lovely eyes..possibly.  But singing..no!!!

Well, purely for comparison purposes, here's the DS capture/quote:

1796: Ep #421 - Natalie: 'I've been talking nonsense.

And here's a capture of Dr. Frank from the referred to sequence:

(And getting that capture has me wanting to watch RHPS. I realized I haven't watched the DVD since it came out in 2000. It's way beyond time that I watched it again.)

Thanks again for that fabulous snapshot from Rocky Horror, MB!  It's Land-o-lakes.
