Mercedes Ruehl in The Vagina Monologues 2000
“The Vagina Monologues” is a compilation of women’s experiences discussing their vaginas. The brainchild of Eve Ensler, it has been both a book and a one-woman show. Later, the format was revamped to feature three women reading various monologues on a stage. Similar to the play “Love Letters,” the cast of three was rotated continuously. Mercedes Ruehl took part for three weeks, along with Brooke Shields and Ana Gasteyer. One of the monologues was “The Woman Who Loved To Make Vaginas Happy,” about an attorney who decides to make a career change – by becoming a lesbian dominatrix prostitute.
No clips of Mercedes Ruehl doing this particular monologue. However, you can watch another actress recite the experiences of the Lesbian Dominatrix Prostitute in the video below.
