As our AbFab countdown and tribute to the United Kingdom both continue, we have to give props to an actress who adds so much to Absolutely Fabulous’ side splitting hilarity: Jane Horrocks. Her character, Bubble, is a vapid, clueless character that also manages to mutter out bites of wisdom. Her comic barbs are the perfect anecdote for Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone’s scheming and celebrity stalking.
Horrocks deserved at least an Oscar nomination for her gut wrenching performance in Little Voice. Her spot-on impersonations of divas are a riot, especially one from a few years back where she spoofed Shirley Bassey. Now if only she would repeat that performance on an oil rig.
