[Start description: A gif of Madeline Kahn from the movie “Clue” - She is a woman with short dark hair and a black dress. She is raising her hands towards her face while she says “I hated her so much” End description.]
Also, this description of that scene is just too good not to share:
The "flames on the side of my face" speech, this "fugue about hatred," is only about 10 seconds long — but you wouldn't know it from the way people still respond to it even 30 years later. And as Kahn frames her face, hands shaking with latent fury, you can almost feel the heat creeping up your own neck in solidarity. It takes one hell of an actor to evoke that kind of visceral sympathy, and Kahn was one for the ages.
