| The
Writeup: Laurie Metcalf will always be remembered
for her role as Roseanne's frumpy sister Jackie on the hit
sitcom Roseanne. She was perfect for the role, and she was
recognized for it, winning three Emmy awards and nabbing two
Golden Globe nominations. Being on a number one show does
good things for your career, and Laurie has worked tirelessly
for her entire career, even when she was on Roseanne. A quick
look at her filmography shows supporting parts in films like
JFK, Blink, Toy Story, Dear God, Scream 2, Uncle Buck and
many, many more. She is an ideal character actress, with distinct
looks and an enormous talent. She wouldn't be so employable
if she wasn't talented, and that's one thing Laurie isn't
lacking. |
