Have you seen this woman? I bet you have...she's built a stunning body of work for herself on stage and screens large and small.
I became aware of her when she blew me away with her Emmy Award winning portrayal of Mags Bennett in season 2 of Justified. You should ABSOLUTELY see that! That character is a beast...she is monstrous, maternal, weighty, funny, edgy...and she sings. You never really know what she's going to do or how far she's willing to go to get what she wants. And you can't stop watching.
She went to University of Michigan, and started her career as a stage actress, and has the presence and gravity that theatrical training develops. She can reach through the screen. And surprise you again and again.
She's now on FX's The Americans. She elevates every show she becomes a part of. There seems to be a pattern of her arriving during the sophomore season of new shows...is that a strategy to help bolster shows and infuse them with some staying power? I don't know...but as long as Margo's onboard, I'm watching.
