Vintage Beaver: Anastasia Beaverhausen

It's been more than 5 years since the groundbreaking NBC sitcom Will & Grace ended its run after an impressive 8 seasons.  While the show's main characters certainly held their own, it's co-stars Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally who always stole the show by portraying characters whose callous, shallow and completely self-absorbed antics would be appalling if they weren't as brilliantly crafted and portrayed so hysterically.

I give you, gentle readers, this montage video showcasing the many times Karen Walker invoked her favorite alter-ego, Anastasia Beaverhausen.

"Anastasia, as in Russian royalty;
Beaverhausen, as in...where the beaver lives."


Although slightly less beaver related, here's a bonus video compiling Karen's many hilarious encounters with her pint-sized nemesis, the brilliantly named (and cast) Beverly Leslie (played by Leslie Jordan).

"Karen Walker ... I thought I smelled gin and regret."

Episodes of Will & Grace are still showing on Lifetime (television for women and gay men), with reruns airing frequently throughout the week.  Sadly, there's still no word of an Anastasia Beaverhausen spin-off, miniseries, or high-end vodka brand.  Stay tuned.
