Calling all Bettys! We are desperately seeking submissions for doormats.It's hard for me to come up with the perfect picture of a doormat - because doormats are seldom leading ladies. A true doormat is forgettable. It's not about looks so much as it is about personality. Or lack of personality.

Jack Lemmon's character in Billy Wilder's The Apartment, and "Mr. Cellophane" himself, Roxie Hart's husband, Amos, in the musical Chicago.
