With the passing of Elaine Stritch, the entertainment industry has lost an inspired artist and icon. But Elaine wouldn’t have had us moping around: in her final years, the Broadway legend remained as ferociously funny as ever, moving from project to project with unparalleled zest and zeal. This bold, hilarious, and poignant documentary reveals the uncompromising Tony and Emmy Award-winner both on and off the stage. It provides candid reflections about her life, punctuated with words from her loyal friends, including James Gandolfini, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, John Turturro, Hal Prince, George C. Wolfe, Nathan Lane, and Cherry Jones. It also features rare archival footage that showcases some of the great moments from her career, offering a galvanizing model of an actor’s life. Following Stritch as she dominates the stage, torments Alec Baldwin on the set of 30 Rock, and shares her struggles with aging, diabetes, and alcoholism, Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me reaches beyond the icon’s brassy exterior and reveals an inspiring portrait of a complex woman and artist.
