Formative Performances: Margaret Tyzack in “I, Claudius”
[Women’s History Month, Day 23] I, Claudius is one of the best programs I’ve ever seen. It’s a soap opera set in ancient Rome, complete with Shakespearean dialogue and bloody fantastic acting. The cast of characters is filled with schemers, … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Gillian Jacobs in “Community”
[Women’s History Month, Day 22] This actress has been on the same show for three years and never been nominated for a Supporting Actress Emmy, and that’s just ridiculous, because she’s great. As Britta Perry on Community, Gillian Jacobs plays … Continue reading

Formative Performances: Andrea Martin in “SCTV”
[Women’s History Month, Day 15] This next performer is one of the two best sketch comedy actresses I’ve ever seen: Andrea Martin in SCTV. There was something inherently lovable about every one of her characters, yet they were all so … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Judy Reyes in “Scrubs”
