There’s a scene from a comedy series called Soap. It was a spoof/parody of soap operas in the 1970s. It starred Katherine Helmond and Billy Crystal to name just two of it’s absolutely stunning cast. If you’ve seen Benson, it’s the show that Benson spun off from. And it’s so much better.
In the scene, Jessica (Helmond) has just discovered that the rumors are true, and her husband has been cheating on her.
It’s one of the most heartbreaking and painful scenes in TV history, and one of the best examples of acting I’ve ever seen. But the writing. My God. Here’s a short of the scene
That last line of dialogue is why I wanted to be a writer as a kid.
