Birthday wishes are in order for the lovely & amazing Franny McDormand, who is 52 (!!!) years young today -- and whom I tragically missed on Broadway in The Country Girl last summer *sobs*.
Has there ever been a better actress more adept at black comedy than she? Hollywood rarely uses her (well) anymore -- P.S. Why?! -- but wow, what an impressive streak of affecting and/or brilliantly caustic performances she's given in the last quarter century.
Among them:
Quite a resume, and that doesn't even include her banner performances in noir masterpieces by the Coen brothers -- Joel is her hubby -- like Blood Simple, Fargo (arguably her best), The Man Who Wasn't There and, most recently, Burn After Reading.
But to me, Miss McDormand always will be "Dot" from Raising Arizona (my sentinmental fave).
"Oh! He's an angel! He's an angel straight from heaven!"
