| Grizabella Nicknames/ Aliases: Griz, Griza, The Glamour Cat Age: Elder Physical Appearance: Gray, very shaggy and dilapidated, with crooked ears. �You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand. And you see the corner of her eye twists like a crooked pin.� Yes, that�s Grizabella, old and pretty beat-up. She still has some vanity, however, as her claws are painted bright red. The Naming of Grizabella: (GRIZ ah bell ah) When used in names, �belle� and �bella� usually mean beautiful. I think the �griz� was added to indicate grizzled, which means, �gray or partly gray.� And the Glamour Cat is certainly gray. Description: Here�s my theory: Grizabella left the Jellicle tribe long ago to frolic in the human world, or maybe for other reasons. Now, old and dilapidated, she tries to return but is shunned. After the cats understand her story through �Memory,� they accept her and she is chosen to go to the Heaviside Layer. Memorable Quote: �Touch me, it�s so easy to leave me all alone with the memory of my days in the sun.� - �Memory� People who have played Grizabella: Elaine Page (film/ OL,) Betty Buckley (OB,) Linda Balgord (BA,) Debbie Byrne (OA,) Delia Hannah (CRAC) |
