jackie jackie spend this winter with me.


i love laurie metcalf.
not just for her obvious gift of comedic timing, but because of her versatility as a classically trained actress.
i had a laurie-metcalf-marathon today: desperately seeking susan, jfk, and four episodes of roseanne.
 
she is a stage legend in chicago, a three-time emmy winner, a tony-nominee (featured actress) for last year's production of november, and a prolific television guest star (i am just waiting for a surprise appearance on law and order: svu as some homicidal maniac, like her batshitcrazy performance in scream 2).

a guy i used to work with claims to have met her in a pub in ireland. 
her and her friends got hammered with him and a bunch of his friends, as she told desperate housewives stories all night. 
she really seems like the kind of lady you could have a few laughs with at an applebees on fajita fridays or something, you know, like a totally awesome mom-type.
i hope she does some more tv.
