Hermione Gingold (The Music Man, Gigi)—a weird weird weird woman. Nobody can angrily rock a feather boa like this queen. Also scrungles perfectly in Gigi.

Bert Lahr (The Wizard of Oz)—I don't know much about his other work but the cowardly lion, i would argue, is peak weird little guy exemplary. i've always felt wizard of oz is the story of three vaudeville gays taking dorothy to the emerald city and i think that's mostly bert lahr's fault (affectionate)
