It's because she's been pissed since 1955. A combination of rapid premature ageing, and then alcoholic preservation. The same thing happens to chutney.
Elaine is just being Elaine. She always has to be the center of attention, even now she still doubts her own talents, I would guess. Only proves no one ever gets to be the person they always wanted to be, even when everyone says they're the best.

Elaine Stritch did a sitcom here in Britain in the 1970's called "Two's Company". Wish someone would post it up...

Elaine looks like she's having to count really hard in her head. Haha

Someone please explain why Elaine Stritch still looks the same, 40 years later. And still wears the same hat!

@stickyfixer A cat can look at a king, and a whiny critic on YouTube can offer snide comments about a great musical theater singer, too.

I guess this version is still not equalized! I love it everytime I listen "Company" by OBC.

She's the one at 2:46. The 3rd girl from the left. She also sings a solo song ("(Not) Getting Married Today") later in the musical!
