I heartily agree. Very powerful!

Gee, Griff! You said it! I often think how differently they could have
played the big man's secretary; you know, super ditzy or barracuda. Even as
a sultry siren. All the cliches! But instead they played it very smart and
went with a realistic type of workable working relationship. And it's easy
to see why he keeps her on, since she's nearly as strong a character as he
is himself!
Yours,
Denise
