Rosie O’Donnell Shares Excitement For Miriam Margolyes Show With Fiery Post

Rosie O’Donnell posted something worthy of being discussed in every conversation, yet that isn’t simply because of the stand and walk of her fellow legends. The comedienne and TV personality posted a black-and-white photo of the British-Australian actress Miriam Margolyes with the caption, “I have never wanted to hurt anybody except Donald Trump.” Margolyes is caught in the act of making a gesture with that grin that just screams being cheeky and charming, and that charm is what the image so powerfully carries. Overjoyed, O’Donnell captioned, “Seeing this legend today at her fringe show – cannot wait @mmargolyes.”

This officially birthed a wave of overflowing conversations on everything from Margolyes’ starry career to the hotly political undertone of that picture. One user called her a “national treasure”; while another said, “Blessing” in respect to her work on Call the Midwife. On the flip side, some chose to take a more divisive course. One summed up the dissent by saying, “The face that needs 7B slaps,” while another said, “I wouldn’t want to touch it.”

Amid all the chaos was another moment of worldwide acclaim for Margolyes, with one fan saying, “She’s a treasure! Aussies love her too.” Which immediately sets off another who says, “Speak for yourself, not all Australians.” Classic Internet banter.

Then came the classic distraction in the form of a film promotion sneaked in. Almost immediately, a filmmaker jumped into the comments and revealed that Margolyes stars in their new short film, A Friend of Dorothy, with Stephen Fry. “She’s magnificent in it,” they gushed, sending a private link to Rosie. Naturally, others wanted in and began bugging about when and where to watch. The filmmaker said it is presently making the rounds of festivals, just after an award ceremony in Indiana, and on to Hollyshorts in LA.

Some of the random responses will always be remembered. Another one, out of nowhere, shouted: “🔥🔥🔥 #MIDTERMS LETS TAKE AMERICA BACK AGAIN.” Another, in a tragic cry, started telling about their family being victims of famine and hunger. If at least nothing else, the internet is unprecedented.

But most all is the amount of love that Margolyes’ unedited personality commands. Be it her witty interviews, iconic roles, or politically straightforward statements—people love her. It was a big, fat one for Rosie O’Donnell’s post-whether presidents are going to collide on stage or on Instagram; it’s going to be fun.

And as for Miriam Margolyes, she’s among the few who are capable of blending humor, brutal honesty, and a bit of unbridled chaos together. You might not agree to what she says, but you can’t look past her. Judging by the internet reaction, that is precisely what they are choosing not to do.
