Andrea Martin is one of the greatest comediennes of our time. Her comedy brilliantly examined femininity and female insecurity to hilarious levels.
Her contribution (along with the equally brilliant Catherine O’Hara) to Canadian and American comedy should be celebrated.

Well stated. She elevates everything she appears in, without a lot of people seeming to notice.

[@matthewhogg7616]

Dutch is a master thespian.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

I thought she was an -actress- -actor- thespian too.

[@philmfan]

Such an odd, unique and fantastic little segment.

SCTV's brillliant show parodies make any boring show entertaining and hilarious!!

[@LEARSIKCIGAM]

Andrea Martin could convey comedy genius without saying one word.

[@OofusTwillip]

She'd studied mime, which taught her to really use her face and body when performing.

[@senorsardonico6153]

Dutch Leonard sure is enigmatic.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Ten guineas says she does!

[@OofusTwillip]

"Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein" is a parody of "Gerty, Gerty, Gerty Stein is Back, Back, Back!", a one-woman show starring Pat Bond as Gertrude Stein. It's on UA-cam.

[@PJ-lp4lr]

Dutch Leonard Yvonne Cournoyer and Honey Pie Traynor. Women given athlete names. I am sure there are others I have missed.

[@senorsardonico6153]

Pumpsie Greene in “Gaslight”.

[@aiberlane3390]

Andrea always got the lesbian roles for some reason.

[@steeltownbrown52]

Catharine has done one or two (Shoot at the Stars).

[@steeltownbrown52]

1983, not 1984.
