At Liberty to Laugh

摘要

America is the land of optimism, and since becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen last year, Tracey Ull-man, the British-born, shape-shifting comedian, is still a bit drunk on sunny-side spirit. That's the only possible explanation for why she thinks opportunistic television personality Rita Cosby won't spontaneously combust when she sees Ullman's impression of her. "I think she'll have a sense of humor about it," says Ulll-man, 48. Oh, really? It's hard to imagine she'll be laughing, in that hoarse, husky voice that Ullman mimics so perfectly, when Cosby sees her doppel-gaenger offering sex acts to prison guards in order to broadcast live from inside an execution chamber while a prisoner is being lethally injected. But woe unto him who is close enough to find out.
