Tonight’s episode featured a TV reporter as Tom Seleck’s love interest. She reminded me of a younger Stockard Channing. Any idea who it was?
Oh, it’s Blair’s mom.
If it matters, I had to go searching to find her name, but I had the first thought that she might have been either:
Catherine Dent
Elizabeth Perkins
or somebody else who looks like them.
Best known (by me) as Jeff Goldblum’s love interest in Independence Day.
She does have a Perkins vibe going.
Her name is Margaret Colin. I best know her as the first lady in Independence Day.
Close but no cigar. Mary McDonnell played the First Lady. Margaret Colin played the president’s aide and ex-wife of Jeff Glodblum.
I know her best as the wife of award-winning soap opera actor Justin Deas, whom she met when they were both appearing on As the World Turns. She also appeared in one of my favorite movies, True Believer with James Woods and Robert Downey, Jr. She has many, many television guest roles, but none of the shows in which she has been cast as a regular have been successful.
She was in Something Wild with Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffin. A Jonathan Demme film. She had a very small part.
