Isn't She Great celebrates women in comedy—and SAG presidents who stand up against AI—with THE BEAUTICIAN AND THE BEAST (1997)! Co-hosted by Elizabeth Teets and Anthony Hudson, this special edition opens with stand up by Seattle’s Bernice Larson!
THE BEAUTICIAN AND THE BEAST stars Fran Drescher as Joy Miller, a beautician who gets mistaken for a science teacher and offered a job in the Eastern European nation of Slovetzia, where Boris Pochenko (Timothy Dalton), the country's gruff dictator, hopes to improve his image by hiring an American tutor for his children. A hilarious mash-up of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE SOUND OF MUSIC, with a dash of all-too-relevant fascism for fun, THE BEAUTICIAN AND THE BEAST is an increasingly reevaluated cult classic starring one of Hollywood's most hilarious and heroic stars.
