Debra Messing wanted NBC to give her a door

From Warren Littlefield's memoir of "Must See TV" which has lots of quotes from NBC actors. Debra: "When we were done, everyone was talking about what they wanted to take from set as a memento. I said: "I want the door to my office. Just the door that says "Grace Adler" and I want to put it in my office at home as a piece of sculpture against the wall" Then two weeks later, I get a call. NBC wants $225 for the door to pay for the wood." "I said: "are you kidding me?" They were like "Well, no. They could use the door on another pilot." I said "Tell them to sue me." So much for being part of the family."

• Whutacunt.

• In the end-of-show DVD extras, Max Mutchnick said she showed up for the original W&G audition in a limo.

• NBC gave that bitch a Porsche at one point. What a CUNT!

• I need to know more. "Everyone was talking about what they wanted as a memento" is vague. Did someone from NBC say it was okay to take anything she wanted? This is something her people could have handled so she'd never have to know.

• All four of them got Porsche Boxters, R3, you CUNT.

• Deb usually has to pay for anybody to give her wood, I don't know why she's so shocked this time around.

• My point is, Debra, a.k.a. R5, after getting a damn Porsche you had nothing to snipe about. I know you have a lot of time on your hands waiting for that back-nine pickup for Smash that's never going to come, but you might want to stop Googling yourself. You puffy CUNT!

• Ah, they owe it to her. I like her in SMASH. It's just a door.

• Debra on being cast as Grace: "I was working on the spectacular, futuristic drama Prey...I was the protagonist so I was working 16-18 hours a day." "The show got canceled. I emailed my agent & said "Don't wake me for four months." Bob Gersh, my agent, called and said "We have a special script. You have to read it. And I was like "no, no, no. I'm exhausted. I cannot move. I'm in bed." And he said "We'll send it over. Don't leave bed. Just read it in bed." Max Mutchnick: "Debra Messing was sick of earning $35 000 a week since she was eighteen. She was exhausted."

• Why would anyone pay Debra Messing $35,000 a week pre-Will and Grace? That's insane.

• Debra on Ned & Stacey: "I had just come from doing plays and being in graduate school, where it's collaborative. My contribution was not valued. It just felt like "We're going to decide what the scene is. We're going to decide the way it should go and it's your job to execute it."

• She's lucky they haven't SHOWN her the door on "Smash."

• That does make her sound whiny, r11. Of course she was just a hired hand on her first sitcom, she was a nobody. But apparently she thought it was The Debra Messing Show, what a freak.

• Does anyone remember her "spectacular" drama Prey? How spectacular was it, spectacularly bad?

• Let me tell you about Deb Messing.....

  Everyone%20who%27s%20ever%20fucking%20worked%20with%20this%20BITCH

• R13, to be fair to Deb, I've been posting the quotes that amused me. She also says lots of gracious things about Will & Grace. The most entertainingly pompous quotes in the book come from Deb and David Schwimmer.

• What I remember most about Prey was how hot Roger Howarth was in it, nearly naked. I actually liked the show in general but I was not knocked over by Messing. She wasn't bad she wasn't great.

• I fear Deb will have a harsh menopause.

• She did a great job as Grace Adler on "Will and Grace" and deserved to have that door for a souvenir. I liked her the The Starter Wife TV series, especially the episode where she appeared as Carol Channing in the "Hello Dolly" title song.

• "All four of them got Porsche Boxters" And Rosario got an Impala.

• She didn't ask for a Porsche Boxter, NBC gave it to her. "Will & Grace" made millions and millions for NBC. She asked for a fucking wooden door for all her years of successful service. They should have given the door.

• Well, R21, unless NBC sued her for the money, they DID give her a door … because that cuntress hewed to the stereotype.

• Some down the ladder guy at NBC had a boss with a bug up his ass and went out of his way to have an underling nag a multi million dollar actress for $225? We know Our Deb has no class but NBC had even less. Seeing cunt to cunt conflict is amusing. Our Deb won. I wonder what Sean and Megan took. [Already forgot about what's-his-name the Faux-gay Wilma.]

• All Deb will get out of Smash when it wraps forever on March 8th will be a bunch of Julia's scarves, some which the fired wardrobe department of Season One pissed on and one with cum stains from Will Chase's semen.

• Or maybe the rehearsal hall couch where she fucked Will Chase? Excuse me, where Julia fucked Will Chase's character (as if I remember HIS name)?

• What? She can't afford $225?

• Isn't she fucking Will Chase now? Up against that door?

• Just a simple miscommunication. After Will and Grace was cancelled, the crew of the show remarked, "don't let the door hit you on the way out bitch." and Deb took this to mean she'd better take the door with her.

• More deb dirt please

• Hate her. But she deserved the door for free

• She cures eye cancer in African orphans.

• Surely someone saved the Darfur orphan post regarding our Deb.
