The Guardian has interviewed Laura Linney, winner of the 2007 Golden Stan for Best Actress, ahead of the release of The Savages. If you want to know more about one of the finest American actresses working at the moment, read the interview.
I saw her at the Q&A that followed the premiere of The Savages and did come across as assured and interesting - and, dare I say it, a "genuinely nice person".
I can't think of a single duff performance from her (well, may be Congo - but the film was duff and she was the only whiff of class it had).
Her best credits include her Lady Macbeth-style performance in Clint Eastwood's Mystic River, Jim Carrey's 'wife' in The Truman Show, the guilt-obsessed mother in Jindabyne and the writer emerging from her husband's professional and personal shadow in The Squid And The Whale. And hell, she was one of the few people that made Love Actually even vaguely watchable...
Quite how she didn't get nominated for a Golden Globe for The Savages is beyond me!
