30 Days of Hogan's Heroes - Day 11
11 Oct 2013 11:36 amDay 11 – Favourite actress?
I saw The Blues Brothers way before I saw Hogan’s Heroes, but when I finally made the connection and realised that Frau Linkmeyer was a scary nun in Chicago, I laughed my head off. Kathleen Freeman is the only recurring actress who isn’t conventionally pretty, and is there to play the shrewish, small-minded harpy, who is scary because she is 1) forceful, 2) not a beautiful young woman, and 3) a general’s sister (plus a general's (?) widow) and used to a certain amount of obedience from other people. I love Kathleen Freeman’s “Right, Wolfgang? Right” recurring gag when she’s engaged – tells you everything you need to know about her character’s dynamic with a potential husband. She’s in charge, he won’t be able to say a word about anything. The odd thing is, he doesn’t seem to mind too much … At the start ;o)
