Brought in for comic relief, Rosie O’Donnell (Doris Murphy) was also the tough and insecure one of the team. Like Madonna (who would become her close friend), O’Donnell was at her best in a role like this, where she did not have to carry a movie; something she would prove over and over again that she could not do. Still, O’Donnell was decent here, and we would not be surprised to see a few votes cast this way.
