Her Legacy is that she will be remembered as part of the Old Nyc. All of those creators and shakers who during that era, helped to make nyc and its surrounding areas, what they were. She is a part of nyc history and that is forever. There is no greater honour than to be a living legend and part of that city’s ongoing legacy.

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

I absolutely agree. Thanks for the comment.

[@Mistyerie]

Her and that very short, troll guy who yelled at the saxophone player who wasn't very good at his craft, are quintessential old NY.

[@musicalmagpie741]

Suzanne has such a talent! Not just as a performance artist but her costumes and the details she manages to put into them are fantastic. I did first hear of her from her nemesis’s show a long time ago but I’ve developed so much respect for her. I wish people would take her and her work (dancing, designing, costumes, cakes, her vast knowledge on certain subjects…) seriously. I know she is on the “spectrum” but so many creative people are. It’s also great to see her smile and genuinely enjoying herself at parts. Thank you for making this. Congratulations on all of your work Suzanne - you deserve all the praise you get and so much more!

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I will certainly pass it on to Suzanne. She loves hearing from fans of her work.

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

@@musicalmagpie741 I absolutely will. She will be excited to hear that you are from Scotland. She is always amazed to hear that people from other countries know about her.

[@musicalmagpie741]

@@questionablepersonalitiesp675 I’m just curious - has Suzanne ever created a dance performance on any Scottish subjects or myths? I’ve spotted her Celtic costume and just wondered what routine or character it was from. I’m sure Suzanne would find a lot of inspiration from Scottish history, characters and myths. I really hope she is still choreographing new routines! Again, all the best from Edinburgh! Steven

I absolutely loved seeing Suzanne at the Mermaid Parade this year!! Rain or shine, she’ll be there! She embodies the soul and loyalty to her passion the way many fellow New Yorkers do! Mad respect to you Suzanne! Keep on doing your thing! 🙌🏼

The anger in her eyes when the little girl cries is truly frightening. I would not leave her alone with kids.

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

It was the trophy :)

[@chachadelrio]

At times it seems like a documentary within a documentary; very fitting for a video that aims to reveal what's underneath the many layers that make up its complicated subject. Suzanne is a very special person and this is a wonderful film about her. I'd give the filmmakers a special award for their patience.

[@jimboslice5325]

Great doc!! I'm glad I finally had a chance to see it. Thanks for posting it!

[@musicalmagpie741]

The animation at @22.20 is beautifully done. Perfectly fits the image of this ethereal figure gliding along the warm beach cloaked in black. It fits a Charles Addam’s cartoon but the design is beautifully reminiscent of Edward Gorey. A nice touch by the filmmakers! Incidentally, Edward Gorey designed the sets and costumes for an entire Broadway production of Dracula in 1979(?) starring Frank Langella, completely in black and white to make the entire play look like a collection of his sketches. It all seems to tie together in the end!

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

How is this for a coincidence: I used to teach animation at the same high school that Frank Langella graduated from. One of my animation students at the time, (Rebecca Rojer) did that animated piece.

[@dionhughes3841]

I appreciate the dynamic between her and Howard. To her, he really was her arch enemy. As noble as her persona is she needed someone like Stern as every great hero needs a villain. I think Suzanne is absolutely one of a kind and incredible.

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

That is true, every hero needs a villain. You are 100% correct🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have any questions for Suzanne please let me know. We will do a new viewer mail segment very soon.

@@questionablepersonalitiesp675 I sure would like to see the ongoing progress on her Underdog Diamond Anniversary costume! Where does she get her ideas for the 'motifs' that she adds? Do the motifs have a meaning or some significance to the design? Where does she find her materials (gems, beads, lace, fabric)? That silver/rainbow/diamond fabric is awesome. What's going on with that wall of cats? How often does she add to it? When she's not interviewing with you, what fills her days other than sewing?

[@Chip_Whitley]

This is genuinely amazing. Suzanne is really a unique individual. I enjoyed this as much as 'Crumb' no joke.

[@catchifyoucan232]

At 41:26, you hear about how she browbeat the parade people until she was FINALLY given a trophy. Then, at 41:59, she has the GALL to say that only the very best can get trophies and be recognized, and heaven forbid you get anything less than that… it seems that she doesn’t do these things for the pure joy of it, but rather she only has any joy or value attached when she is recognized with some sort of prize or celebrity, and it HAS to be the RIGHT recognition. This lady has serious issues, it’s really sad.

In regards to the dancing, I honestly believe that Isadora Duncan would have "got" Suzanne Muldowney. Oddly enough they were cut from the same cloth, had the same approach.

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

I agree. I was thinking the same first time I saw her dance.

[@Sshooter444]

Where is she on the spectrum?

[@questionablepersonalitiesp675]

Sshooter444, Suzanne was diagnosed with Asperger's. I guess you would call her "high functioning". She is very intelligent and lives on her own.

She’s kind of nasty…. The way she snapped at those clowns…

She is a stickler for authenticity. Everything is historically accurate. Even Rady Florescu the famed author ("In search of Dracula") and historian was amazed by her work. Thank you for your comment.

[@catchifyoucan232]

22:55 What kind of grown adult can’t deal with a child??? I’m very sorry for the way she was treated by her parents growing up, but “Underdog Lady” opens herself up to ridicule with actions such as these. If she just did her interpretive dance, no one would react to her. It’s because she’s so socially maladjusted and she gets nasty that she receives all of this attention.
