"People thought I was dead" lol

[@tolegonianfella5423]

It should be illegal to force Ellen Greene to have to ever audition for anything. Give her all of the roles... all of them!

[@Roseforever84]

"People thought I was dead." That right there is the best opening line ever!

[@thisguyhere6641]

I did not know that Ellen Greene is still alive either!

[@KallyJones]

Best TV show. They f'd up by cancelling it and should bring at least one more season.

[@mario-mario822]

Ellen is so so so attractive I love her voice and personality 💓😍 I hope we see her again if Bryan Fuller decides to return to his brilliant concept a conclusion. ,( Like for real what's with the pocket watches? )❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎃🥴🍸🍾🥂🍷🦙

[@darkangelw8472]

She's adorable and hillarious. Love her.

[@wickedfeylady]

Ellen is just so delightful

[@jazzyspazzrawr]

I love her, she is an incredible performer!

[@vampirechunks]

Ellen Greene is the bees' knees.

[@TheEffingBandit]

Aww, she's so cute.

[@rebeccacares3468]

Wow, Ellen Greene looks fantastic. Its like she's barely aged since the 80's.

[@mikenaughton4298]

Search Ellen Greene on KZbin and watch her performances in Little Shop Of Horrors. She is amazing. The real deal.

[@roose85723]

omg, i didn't even realized that she played sylar's mom!!!

[@jaquen1977]

She has aged impossibly well. This looks 10 years post the Shop movie, tops.

[@jxmadison69]

hey thats audrey1!!

[@augster3]

Suddenly Seymour!!!!

[@JillianJABBERx]

i love kristins giggle at :09 lol

[@graytart]

She said "A to ZED" - is she secretly a Canadian? (Happy Canada Day!)

[@whateverfloats]

She said A to "Zed". This makes me wonder whether 'zed' is really just Canadian or whether it's actually Jewish.

[@rodenture]

@roose85723 - she didn't that was Christine Rose.

[@Hortondlfn1]

"Art and commerciality with hope." So, of course it was cancelled. Those TV execs really know their stuff, don't they?

[@GaijinBiker]

She's Jewish? Adam Sandler needs to stick her in the next edition of the Chanukah song!

[@thisguyhere6641]

Ellen Greene, a.k.a. Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors, is Jewish?! Wow! I did NOT know that!

[@roose85723]

@rodenture that's peter and nathan's mom

[@mzmiller52]

So ironic. Ellen Greene should have done the revival of “on the 20th century”, not the ham sitting next to her. Ellen understands camp. Christine was just campy.

[@whateverfloats]

Then why did she use it?

[@steelskyblue]

you just want to put her in your pocket.... how can someone be so cute. It's like a cute female Woody Allen....

[@jaquen1977]

@iamstillhiro1112 Totally. She didn't seem like she'd age well at all. I was very surprised.

[@vegishishkabab]

@showersinger34 What's kvell? I'm a Jewish Israeli and I have no idea!

[@thisguyhere6641]

Of course, Pushing Daisies would end up pushing up daisies, as it got canceled!

[@ApolloCiaus]

so strange to hear americans who pronounce Z as 'zed'.
