    It's a real treat to hear what Ellen's REAL voice sounds like! I knew she didn't really talk like Audrey. Her natural voice is soft and gentle like her most famous character, but nowhere near as high pitched.

  • @HansDelbruck53

    Like most poor interviewers, he doesn't know how to ask a follow-up question.
    Ellen makes an interesting statement and he sticks to his own agenda rather than following the path that her statement naturally leads one to wonder about.

    I never realized just how much of Ellen’s natural mannerisms and demeanor went into Audrey. Obviously, the voice is exaggerated for comic effect and I doubt Ellen ever squeaks when rendered speechless, but The gestures and the cadence are the same.

    Truthfully, neither ending is happy. If you think about it, Audrey II ends up being in their garden at their new house. That leaves you thinking, would they realize it was there in time? So technically there is no happy ending. This movie I think teaches us to go with your gut. Don't feed the plant even though Audrey II is trying to convince you.
