Molly Parker

Molly Parker makes me stop and watch her. Regardless of what I’m doing, if she’s on TV, and I’m nearby, I stop what I’m doing and watch her act. She’s an extraordinarily natural actress–one of Canada’s finest. Julie was watching Marion Bridge–a charming film (adapted from the Daniel MacIvor play) about coming home and fragile family ties set in the Maritimes. I was sort of casually watching it while doing various household tasks. However, every time Molly Parker was onscreen, I’d stop and watch her.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should mention that Ms. Parker is on my freebie list. As a bonus link, while looking for a decent photo of Ms. Parker, I found this site of Canadian film actresses. Yes, folks, we’re responsible for both Rae Dawn Chong and Pamela Anderson.
