can we talk about this lady please? How she was an elderly, single woman who literally left all of her property to her cats and how the artists could have just made her a stereotypical crazy old cat lady but instead they made her absolutely fabulous and graceful and she still twirls in front of her mirror like she’s pretending to be a princess at age 60/70/80-something?

and in no way condemned her for never marrying/having kids

Ohhhhhhh

Now I know why I always wanted to be a cat lady

And she’s a retired opera performer! (Carmen was her favorite role.)
