Is James Earl Jones' Big Daddy a Papi Chulo?
Who do you want to see being all sexual and letchy, grabbing the ladies in between pawing his own crotch and shit? Seventy-seven year old James Earl Jones? Me too! Well, Brendan Lemon's culture-watch blog, lemonwade.com, says that's exactly what you can see in Broadway's newest version of Cat on a Hot Tin Woof, I mean Roof. Come on, don't say eww, say ooh!

He's a great actor--was amazing in On Golden Pond--so I'm sure his choices are valid. Maybe.

Posted On: Thursday, Feb. 21 2008 @ 4:02PMAm I correct, didn't the Tennessee Williams novel have the family as rich southern slave owners? I guess Mr. James Earl Jones is the one with the whip.
Posted On: Friday, Feb. 22 2008 @ 12:22PMYes, the Williams play is about wealthy plantation owners. This is an all-black production, which, as I recently wrote, might be a fantasy version whereby blacks reclaim the old South they deserved.
