I've always...I felt bad that I didn't know. I've always liked her. And then just a couple days after I saw this she turned up on 30 Rock. A completely different role and she knocked it out of the park, too. <br /><br />Mary Steenburgen: Unheralded Versatility.

As someone who gobbles up AMPAS...Love, love, love.<br /><br />As someone who gobbles up AMPAS trivia I did know she won an Oscar for this and I always wonder why people don't ever seem to mention. It's as if it happened and then, everyone forgot about it. And, it's such a peripheral role (not in a bad way) and Mary just makes it sing and she's such a delightful performer (both generally, and here specifically) that I like that she has an Oscar, at least for historic purposes.<br /><br />I need to rewatch this one, but I do remember loving its easy charm and it's honesty and sweetness (and a generally fine script). Also, Jason Robards. Never a bad deal.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.com
