Judith Light

I want to look up her scenes in the new Dallas (the “reboot”) from a few years back.

Based on what little I did see, she nailed the role of a brash Texas businesswoman in cahoots with John Ross and vying for power.

Jean Smart.

One of the greatest actresses ever.

R1 at one point her character taunted John Ross with what might happen to him if he went to prison

She reveled in it

She’s no Robin Strasser.

Angela

OP - you will love this clip if you've never seen it - (as will any fans of Llanview)....and I'm talking about the interview, not the tired courtroom clip we've already seen hundreds of times.....

TALBOT HUDDLESTON!!!!

She’s really great onstage. Much like Laurie Metcalf, her television work is no indication of her strength as a performer. I saw her in both of her Tony award winning performances and would jump at the chance to see her again

I first saw Judith when she was acting in the Milwaukee Repertoire Theatre years ago. It was obvious to everyone who saw her that she was going to move on to bigger and better opportunities. I agree with R9's comparison to Laurie Metcalf - her TV work "is no indication of her strength as a performer."

bump

OIP = Danny Pintauro

Hooey, r10.

^Loved this movie!!!!

[quote] Is it possible to be any more generous, grand, chic, talented and intelligent?

No, Mary: it is NOT!!!

Character Study

Just when I thought Datalounge couldn’t get any gayer…

She was a hoot on Dallas TNT. Deliciously soapy and evil.

[bold] Judith offering to give Jon Ross a job turning GAY TRICKS with men. [/bold] She then tells Jon Ross to "get off her lawn".

Damn I loved that show and it was all because of her.

R3 = Judith Light

I still remember her BIG SCENE on One Life to Live when her character Karen finally broke down and confessed to her husband Larry that she was formerly -gasp-choke-sob- A PROS-TI-TUUUUTE!

She was so good in Dallas. I'd love to see her play more villain roles.

On Dallas, didn’t she play Mitch Pileggi’s mother??? They are basically the same age.

A COMMON WHORE!

Something so grating and false about her on Transparent. My god, she was bad. A good actress in the right thing.

Brilliant actress.

Her courtroom scene on One Life to Live was used in acting schools for many years to teach students.

She was superb in Wit on Broadway. She should have gotten the movie version.

She looks like something you'd see in one of the Italian crypt bone chapel

R27 The acting school thing has to be urban myth

“one of the first and most vocal LGBT advocates…”. Pure bullshit.

[quote]The acting school thing has to be urban myth

Have you seen it? It's excellent. And it's a slow burn leading up to a huge emotional buildup. She brought warm and pathos to a one dimensional role that could have easily been a toss off.

A lot of accomplished actors and actresses cut their teeth on soap operas back in the day.

R22. Wasn't "formerly." She was taking that dirty dick until Sleestack was arrested for killing "Marco." She liked it.

Isn’t she a lezbo?

R31, the scene was very similar to Monique's performance in Precious.

I don’t like her atall.

R34. Did Larry suck on Karen's tittie too?

R36, it wasn't Larry, it was Marco Dane.

R35. But she's my BEST friend in the whole WIDE world!!!!

And some pretend it never happened.

lol. Remembering when someone called her BIGFACE THAYER

Has Judith Light ever spoken of Gerald Anthonys suicide?

Bump for Sleestak

Gerald was hot! Too bad he wasn’t gay.

TALBOT HUDDLESTON!

I AM A COMMON HOOKER!!!!

R43 - I think it was common knowledge that Gerald was bisexual. He was only married to Brynn for less than 2 years. It was either a bearding situation or she found out quick what he was into.

R46. She claims it was real love. LOVE!!!!

Judith Lights last OLTL episode. Montage at the end.
