Interesting. This could get me to actually watch the show. Well played, FX. Well played.
MAGS BENNETT, SON.
This. All day.
Loved her on A Gifted Man!
:D i miss that show :(
Me too. Someone put Patrick Wilson back on my TeeVee ASAP, please.
He’s going to be in Girls’ second season. So, you won’t have to wait long.
She’ll probably be nominated for an Oscar in 2014 for her role in August: Osage County.
She is one incredibly talented lady. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t notice her until she was in one of my fave movies (Paris, je t’aime) and she was so good in it that since then I have tried to watch other things she’s in.
I became a fan of her during her run as the neighbor in The Riches (great show, btw) and have followed her ever since…especially Justified.
Margo Martindale is a terrific actress.
