Laurie Metcalf. She never wanted to be an actress, but at Illinois State University she joined a tight-knit group consisting of John Malkovich, Glenn Headley, Joan Allen, and Terry Kinney, who persuaded her to study acting and join the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago. From Chicago to New York, she was cast in Saturday Night Live ...
I first saw Judith when she was acting in the Milwaukee Repertoire Theatre years ago. It was obvious to everyone who saw her that she was going to move on to bigger and better opportunities. I agree with R9's comparison to Laurie Metcalf - her TV work "is no indication of her strength as a performer."
The cast is stellar and full of gay icons, like Carol Burnett, Dina Merrill, Lillian Gish, gay actor Dennis Christopher, Nina van Pallandt, Mia Farrow, Desi Arnaz, Jr, Geraldine Chaplin. Extras included John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, Gary Sinise and Joan Allen. Sissy Spacek wanted to play Mia Farrow's part, but couldn't due to a scheduling ...
Laurie Metcalf's neurotic and easily flustered personality was the perfect foil to Roseanne's brash, tough nature. I think it was a great cast. John Goodman is a great comic actor too. Roseanne was always crazy much like she was in real life.
Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman were both well-regarded actors long before ROSEANNE. Goodman has made 4 movies with the Coen brothers, the first before ROSEANNE. Metcalf is a veteran theatre actress who started with the Steppenwolf Co. and made movies like DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN years before ROSEANNE.
Sharon Stone is without a doubt one off the must captivating and diverse performers to ever grace the silver screen. Couple her once-in-a-generation talent with her breathtaking pulchritude and unmatched sexual charisma and this poll seems both unnecessary and laughable. The answer, of course, is Sharon Stone.
I am of two minds about Laurie Metcalf. Maybe she genuinely liked Roseanne and agreed with her point of view, regardless of how insane others may have thought it to be. Or, maybe Laurie is a theatre actress who wanted to make a lot of money, so she has enough money to do theatre and other special projects that didn't pay as well, so she played ...
No need to look far. There's no shortage of evidence at the DL. Dizzy fans of Laurie Metcalf as greatest living actress; the Roseanne show; Designing Women; Dynasty; morning chitchat TV shows hosted by cackling "celebrity" women; Britney Spears latest TikTok; the "treasure hunters" who haunt thrift shops that smell of farts for a gently worn repro Fiestaware plate from the late 1980s worth an ...
Just like Laurie Metcalf is a vastly underrated second banana. She MADE "Roseanne" and "The Norm Show," and stole every scene on "The Big Bang Theory." Yes, Vic Tayback *was* Mel. You almost took him for granted. I loved "Jackie" in the old Roseanne show. Laurie Metcalf was so damn funny with her career crises: cop, truck driver, etc.
[quote]besides Laurie Metcalf, there's Mark Blum (RIP), Robert Joy, John Turturro, Peter Maloney, Giancarlo Esposito, Annie Golden, Richard Portnow and so many others. And production and costume design by the great theater designer Santo Loquasto. I can totally see how this would add to the film.
