Rita Rudner is Rita Rudner. Rita Rudner is a witty
stand-up comedian with a pillow-soft voice that just wasn't built for
profanity. ("I don't swear. When I do, my husband gets out the tape
recorder. Once, when I was first doing comedy, there were only five people
in the audience, so I did my whole act swearing every other word. All the
waitresses and people at the bar ran in yelling, 'Rita's swearing! Rita's
swearing! Everyone come!'").
Rita Rudner and her husband, former BBC comedy writer Martin Bergman,
co-wrote Kenneth Branagh's film Peter's Friends. Their second
collaboration, the Bergman-directed A Weekend in the Country, airs June 12
on the USA Network, and stars Jack Lemmon, Christine Lahti, Dudley Moore,
and Richard Lewis, along with Rudner.
Rita Rudner and her hubby have their co-writing system down pat. ("We make
each other feel really guilty, and the person who makes the other feel the
guiltiest doesn't write. The guilty person sits down and writes until the
other person feels really guilty, and then they take over.") Rita Rudner
's proud of her off-camera success, but is frustrated by the lack of
worthwhile opportunities in front of the lens. ("Hollywood is a town run
by men. A young, beautiful woman has a much better chance than an older,
smart, funny woman. I'm trying to do things I'm proud of, which is really
what's holding me back. If I would just do any old thing, it would be a
lot better for my career.")
