DALE DICKEY WINS BEST SUPPORTING FEMALE!!!

INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS

Winning Spirit Award
DALE DICKEY ACCEPTING SPIRIT AWARD

 

My friends:

 

Last night I was sitting in my apartment in Atlanta.  Away from Hollywood, the biz and the glamour of award shows, deep in pre-production to shoot my next movie The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife with the original stage cast.

 

 My good friend and producing partner Emerson Collins shouted from across the room, "Dale won!"  I screamed like a teenaged girl, then got all teary-eyed.  I started text messaging, posting on facebook, calling everybody I could think of.

 

In my career, I can't think of anybody, including myself, that I was more happy for in winning an award.  And so deserving.  This moment was so right.  

 

In September of 1996, I went to a play at the Zephyr Theatre called "Laura Dennis" by Horton Foote. I had gone to see my friends Cameron Watson and Gloria LeRoy in one of my favorite writer's plays.   

 

Something magical happened that night.  Something amazing.  Something transforming.  Something that was meant to be.   

 

Dale Dickey entered my life. She bounded onto that stage as the crazy, alcoholic "Velma".  Her performance was chilling, thrilling and beyond brilliant.  An actress outside of her own body, immersing herself so deep within her character that you saw no acting.  And that face!  That beautiful, pained, angst-ridden face. Not a Hollywood face.  A real face.  Oh, this was my kind of actress.  My kind of gal.  

 

After the show, I  pounced on Dale and blurted out, "We have to work together.  I thought I knew every great Southern actress in this town!  Where have you been?"  I'm not sure I had even introduced myself.  I think I may have scared her a little.

 

A few months later, I cast Dale Dickey in the 10-year-anniversary production of Daddy's Dyin' (Who's Got The Will?) as "Sara Lee Turnover".  And I've been writing for her, working with her ever since. 

 

We are about to recreate together her amazing portrayal of "Rayleen Hobbs" in the film adaption of "The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife" where she immortalized the line "I'm so sorry I fucked your husband" that sold on T-shirts.

   

I promise, Dale will thrill me... us... once again.   If I'm not mistaken, this will be my 10th collaboration with incomparable Dale Dickey.

 

So today, I would like all our friends and fans to give a big shout out to my friend, my sister, Dale Dickey, who never fails to thrill me over and over -- whether she is playing one of my roles or the many other staggering portrayals of those flawed women that I adore.   

 

And I just teared up again.
