Dorothy Parker,
The Algonquin Round Table wit famously said, "Men seldom makes passes at women with glasses." Attach a rider, then, for
Spider-men. Yes, the attraction is magnetic, but let us also consider some of her other great lines. There was "If all the girls who attended the Harvard-Yale game were laid end-to-end, I wouldn't be surprised." When
Harold Ross, the legendary first editor of
The New Yorker tried to get angry at her for not writing a piece for them, she purred that she had come over, "but someone else was using the pencil."
She is very fond of old
Marx Brothers movies (
Harpo was another member of the Round Table) and
loved the new
Iron Man. Look out, Spidey!
