She was terrific as Polina in Ian Rickson's Broadway production of The Seagull in late 2008. I know she was also in The New Group's Blood From A Stone more recently, but I did not see it.
I became aware of her when she co-starred in the mid-90s TV series Nothing Sacred. She was just wonderful on this underrated series, which is well worth looking up on netflix if it's available.
It made me very happy to see her receive acknowledgment for her performance in Compliance.
She was robbed for COMPLIANCE. There were no teary scenes, no big speeches...nothing to let the stupid Academy know that they were watching a fully realized performance.
Her last scene in COMPLIANCE is all about damn near perfect acting. Not ACTING!!!!!!!!! a la Hathaway...I'm talkin' real acting.
I saw her many times in Chicago in the '80's - including memorable performances in Kennedy's Children and The Normal Heart. It's a shame that the acting nominations are limited to 5 - and in my opinion it was a leading performance, not supporting in any way.
