If you ask me, my favorite person at the dinner table was Grandma Klump. She was feisty, raunchy and never one to shy away from a fight. The older generation might have recognized Grandma Klump from another famous, female comedian who shared her spunk. Moms Mabley. Murphy, again in Actor’s Studio interview, (You should just watch the whole thing.) said that she was his inspiration.
“She did one movie called ‘Amazing Grace’ and if you watch that movie you’ll see where the whole old lady in Nutty Professor. ‘Oh he just stole it from this sh*t.” Her inflections, the way she’s talking everything.”
