"ME? AUDITION?" - Shelley Winters
As the years wore on for actress Shelley Winters the parts offered became fewer, as they are for any actress over the age of 35 even today. The project would be a B movie titled "Bloody Mama" and she was requited to....ahem...."audition" for its casting director.

Never missing an opportunity to "act" she agreed to meet those in charge. She was asked to bring a headshot and her resume along. At her arrival Shelley laid a bag on a table, whereupon she pulled out her First Academy Award stating, "There's my headshot" and proceeded to pull out her second Oscar stating, "And that's my fuckin' resume !"

Hollywood urban legend? Who cares ??!! It is the stuff of legend and Shelley Winters had proven her iconic status in films and still deserved respect for her craft.

The story may have come from her casting in "Pete's Dragon" (1977) since "Mama" was released in 1971 and she most likely took the latter role just for the paycheck.

It would have been even better if she had taken the call herself and said, "Audition? Kiss my ass."
