Laura Linney- what isn't she a bigger star?

A fine underrated actress

Oh, great. Another UNDERRATED troll.

Space your dashes, troll.

Funny I always thought she was an overrated actress. Could never stand her in anything she was in

Primal fear is an example of a movie with such a great cast (including Richard Gere, btw) and she’s always just so overbearing and unappealing and overacting. Is she one of those who’s just considered a great actress because she’s not pretty?

She's not pretty? Are you crazy?

She fucking boring and a stiff.

I love her voice and I’m a big fan of several of her performances.

She just ended a very popular Netflix series and is an awards show fixture whose reputation is firmly associated with quality work. Maybe she should have an Oscar by now, and she does have the talent to give a winning performance, but it’s hardly an injustice that she only has a shelf filled with Emmys.

I’d say she’s rated pretty fairly by most.

Decent actress but too bland and frauish-looking to make much of an onscreen impact.

I can see where she would be great on stage but she's not a good movie actor.

She crushed it on Ozark episode after episode. I love her.

R2 - any decent actor looks like they are overplaying against the plank of wood Gere.

by Anonymousreply 10March 17, 2023 4:49 AM

She’ll never win an Oscar now. White people are so out.

Is she the NPR lady?

She was great in Tales of the City (all of them).

She is a phenomenal actor but unlike Streep, she hasn't done comedies and does she sing?

She is like Frances McDormand, in that she is a serious actress and never seems to need to do anything else.

Even McDormand has played wacky, but Linney...

Did you even watch Ozark, OP? Sheesh.

Ms. Linney works a ton for an actress her age! She has a young child and a husband (who seems gay to me but whatevs) at home--perhaps working on location for months at a time became taxing after so many years, so she doesn't take on as many new projects. I bet LL saved her money and lives pretty comfortably.

R10 he was GREAT in that movie - and I credit him for continuing to stretch his chops and improve as an actor once he reached middle age and beyond. He deserved an Oscar nom for Arbitrage.

She is fine. But not underrated.

by Anonymousreply 17March 17, 2023 4:59 AM

The really great actresses move into juicy character roles as they age. Laura reminds me of a bland aging ingenue.

by Anonymousreply 18March 17, 2023 4:59 AM

She’s extremely good and also very attractive. She’s not underrated though.

Y'all love the bitch but can't post one pic? Rude.

by Anonymousreply 20March 17, 2023 5:05 AM

Love her. Ive never heard a bad word about her either. I absolutely will watch something just because she's in it.
