In the sixth episode of Amazon’s A League of Their Own remake series, we meet an old friend.
Rosie O’Donnell, who starred in Penny Marshall’s 1992 film, makes an appearance as the owner and bartender of a queer-friendly speakeasy frequented by some members of the Rockford Peaches. O’Donnell played Doris, the brash and brassy sidekick to Madonna’s glamorous and boy-crazy Mae, in the original movie.
If you are a normal person like me, who has watched A League of Their Own (film version) about 63 times and can quote just about every single line, you know that Doris was the best character. That made her surprise cameo in the new series all the sweeter.
