There are a number of reasons why I love Mary McDonnell. First of all, I love the women in Hollywood that allow themselves to grow older with grace, instead of fighting it tooth and nail. That's not to say that I harbor any illusions that she hasn't had any touch-up work done (I don't know about that either way), but at least her face still looks like the one she was born with, and she still looks her age. Both good things, in my mind. Secondly, I love the air of dignity and elegance that she exudes, even in her personal life. I don't like the celebrities that will do anything for attention and live their lives like they're out to set a record for most degenerate. And third, I just think she's a great actress. Every role I've seen her in is beautiful and real. I have rarely seen an actor portray such a wide variety of characters that all connect so powerfully to me. Many call themselves "actors," but only a handful of them can truly act. Mary McDonnell is one of those few.
