That isn't a knock; she just has a way of playing a small-town woman who's a bit too nosy. At least that's the way I think of her. Donnie Darko is definitely the right choice as the top pick, but she's one of those actors who has some many memorable parts. I forget her name sometimes, but she's everywhere.

She appears as a motivational speaker or something yet you know she is bringing it in that one scene alone.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned her GREAT scene in the first season of "Malcolm in the Middle" as a bossy Mom who leads a group of submissive other Moms of gifted kids. It's laugh-out-loud funny as she dumps a whole pan of brownies in the trash, kindly chiding Malcolm's mother that there may be some allergen in there, but the thought was nice :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
