Let's discuss Alicia Witt

Cybill Shepherd said she was a bitch to work with.

She’s pretty average imo

You buried the lede, OP.

R1 I’m going to venture a guess that the number of people who have said Cybill was a bitch to work with is probably far more than those who’ve said the same about Alicia

She IS Alicia Witt!

She used to be very pretty but she’s looking rough these days. Redheads don’t usually age well

Get out of my mind!

She was in a movie in the early '90s called "Fun" about two teenage girls who murder a random elderly woman just for the hell of it. I think it was based on a true story. It was an ugly, unpleasant movie, but I recall her being pretty good in it, especially for a relatively inexperienced actress.

She was cute on Craig's show and they played well off of each other.

One of the three appearances is her playing the piano.

R6 she was very beautiful. I think she still is honestly, she's just older and doesn't have the baby fat anymore. As you said, redheads don't tend to fare as well in aging just because they're more susceptible to sun damage. I'm guessing the breast cancer treatment also did a number on her.

What about me? I was MOLESTED!

Alicia's mom, a schoolteacher, was a Guinness Book of World Records holder for having the longest hair for six years. I get the impression that her parents were kooky. Intellectual, but kooky.

She did a nice turn on THE SOPRANOS in an episode called "D Girl."

Cybill Shepherd was such a raging cunt through the duration of "Cybill" that Chuck Lorre scripted a CSI episode years later based on her, and the plotline had her being murdered. I somehow doubt Alicia was the problem on that set.

Julian Lennon, whose music is featured prominently in Mr. Holland's Opus (starring, among others, Alicia Witt) and who sings the film's main theme, "Cole's Song", on the soundtrack, shares a birthday, April 8th, with distinguished actor Eric Porter.

Cancer took a toll on her.

I used to get her confused with Lauren Ambrose.

R17 they honestly could play sisters. They look very similar, red hair aside. Alicia is just taller.

Not terrible, just a total mediocrity as an actress.

Is there anyone who Cybil Shepard likes? How about people who like Cybil Shepard? Her opinion does not matter. I like Alicia Witt and always have. As a former pianist, I was always jealous of her talent.

[quote] Cybill Shepherd said she was a bitch to work with.

Oh for fuck's sake. Why are you quoting her like her opinion about anyone else matters? She hates everyone.

Cybill Shepherd also said Christine Baranski was a bitch to work with, and the same with Peter Krause, and just about everyone else who worked on that show except maybe Tom Wopat (who was apparently terrified of her and did everything she said).

Cybill Shepherd is a notorious cunt to work with.

Isn't she a $cieno?

She’s always interesting in whatever she does; anyone who calls her a bad actress doesn’t “get” her unique style… clearly, she had an unconventional upbringing, compounded by the Cybill sitcom horror show, so I’m glad she’s still working and I will watch anything she’s in. Looking forward to whatever she does next.

She had a small role as a tech CEO on a later season of Silicon Valley. She was skeletal at that time. I always found her very beautiful and an interesting actress.

That’s one of those times where you hold a nice funeral and then, after everyone has left, crack the lids and slap them both viciously for being so fucking stupid.

I always thought she and Bebe Neuwirth should play mother and daughter. They look and especially sound related.

"Cecil B. DeMented" was not great, but Alicia was very funny playing a porn star.

R24 here. My mistake. Witt was in House of Lies as a CEO not Silicon Valley. She was skeletal though.

I remember her as Lara Flynn Boyle's younger piano playing sister in Twin Peaks. They actually brought her back in season 3 where she and Bobby and Shelly's daughter (Amanda Seyfried) were fighting over Kieran Culkin who played a suicidal drug addict.

She also played a corrupt doctor in I Care a Lot where she and Rosamund Pike work together to con elderly people by falsely diagnosing them with dementia and she later gets murdered after putting Dianne Wiest's character in a nursing home after her mob boss son (Peter Dinklage) puts a hit on her.

She's a very talented and underrated niche actress. I hope she makes a full recovery.

She had a nice part on one episode of ‘walking dead’ .

Her career is quite varied... I was surprised to see her join the cast of L&O: Criminal Intent, one of Logan's many partners. What was the character's name... Fallacci? She was interesting on the program - somewhat bemused by the cases investigated, kind of flitatious with Chris Noth, and supposedly a street-smart girl of the boroughs.

Like other actresses in the final yeats of L&O: CI, she did not stay long...

She was funny as Madonna's minion/fan girl in Four Rooms.

I don’t remember her in Four Rooms

This shit is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard said in a film. Obviously owed to John Waters, but her delivery also makes it

She sure picks offbeat films.

She talks about her role in Four Rooms in this interview from about a year ago:

[quote]Oh for fuck's sake. Why are you quoting her like her opinion about anyone else matters? She hates everyone.

Not true. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jane Lynch, Cloris Leachman, Eileen Brennan have/had said nice things about working with her.

The actor who played the gay waiter was a client at the WeHo tanning salon where I worked. I couldn't remember where I "knew" him from. He refused to tell me and this was when the web was in its infancy. When I finally figured it out, he answered a few questions about working on the series. And before I could ask the first one, he said, "Yes. She's a cunt."

Team Cybill!

Cybill team.

She looks like a Lego baby.

I used to confuse her with Laura Prepon probably because they both have red hair and were acting in sitcoms around the same time. Then she appeared on OITNB and they were so completely different both in acting and demeanor it finally cured me of my confusion.

Not impressed with OP's clip, anyone can coach a child to quote Shakespeare, they're basically parrots at that age. She has no idea about the meaning behind the words.

She has some good scene-stealing power. Loved her cameo as the potty-mouthed, party animal daughter of the pro-life family in CITIZEN RUTH. I wish she would've come to Christopher's funeral on THE SOPRANOS; I wonder what she made of his slasher-gangster flick CLEAVER.
