I'd watch anything with Laura Linney in it - she's fantastic!

So how is she pronouncing her name these days, now that she is going to Broadway?

You need to return to the movie screen my beloved Alicia ....

[LovingHope]

I like her. I liked her in "Excess Baggage" with Benicio Del Toro. Laura Linney was so good in "The Nanny Diaries." I hope they do well on Broadway. They're both talented actors.

I've loved Laura Linney ever since I saw her in "Tales of the City". She's a terrific actress. Now I need to get to NY to see this play!

[lillibelle]

Me, too! Did you see her as Abigail Adams in the miniseries? A simply solid portrayal. As for Alicia, loved her in "Blast from the Past" with that superb cast.

[Steamboater]

Yes, I bought the DVD set of Adamas. Very good and Linney as usually is superb. You can almost feel her concentrate when she performr. She's really amazing.
