    I think my admiration for her goes further
    than just loving her characters, I think she's
    wonderful as a normal person too. Of course Rizzo
    is my favorite character and I really hated when
    they cancelled 'Out of Practice' :P

    She's been in enough films to be considered one of the best actresses of that generation, that's for sure.
