Oh, Sandra.
Patricia Clarkson was in VCB?
Frances McDormand and Patricia Clarkson both have the gift of taking potentially stodgy roles and making them wonderful!
Oh my Sandra. (I love your honestly :)
If Cate, Patty, Glenn and Sissy are all here I wonder who's in the top 20. This is sure getting interesting.
Sara: I'm going to take that as a positive? I sincerely hope so... :)
Simon: Yes, in fact she was... do you recall a certain affair she happens to mention...?
Robert: Agreed. They can both play the hell out of what could easily have been boring "mom" roles.
Andrew: I gotta stay true - I was a diehard Sandra fan growing up, and I still hold a special place in my heart for the woman. And as far as the mystery of the top 20, prepare to be dazzled (hopefully).
