Cameron Mitchell On Madeline Kahn
There really never will be anyone else like her. John Cameron Mitchell, director of “Shortbus” and “Hedwig,” agrees: ‘I remember clearly when I first met her. I’m not impressed by many actors after all my years in show business, but she made me gasp. She’s a scene-stealer non-stop in all her Mel Brooks movies – “High Anxiety,” “Young Frankenstein,” “History of the World” etc – but she always worked really well with other people.’
