Good-bye Anna Madrigal

[eastofeden]

  - I rarely have much of a reaction when someone famous dies but this one is different. Olympia Dukakis played maybe my favorite character ever - Anna Madrigal in Tales of the City which is a Gay themed miniseries (I watched it maybe 100 times)



All of the characters were based on real residents of San Francisco.  They captured the city and the time period perfectly - I know as I was there and grew up less than an hour from San Francisco so I know the city and the vibe and time period well - and this series and Olympia Dukakis captured it perfectly. 

I really loved her - the actress and the character she played - I will miss her - RIP Olympia (and Anna)
