Laura Linney

Laura Linney Addresses the League of Professional Theatre Women

 

Laura Linney addressed The League of Professional Theatre Women meeting today so I went along. The room looked like a gathering of elderly men in high drag but Laura Linney was incredibly poised and beautiful. She revealed that she took three acting degrees before she even began auditions and that almost all young female actors ask her what should they do about having children. Just as she was discussing the roles she is alternating with Cynthia Nixon in The Little Foxes in April a Professional Theatre Woman yelled that she had a question. Then commenced a deluge of the most fatuous questions about Movie Land as the Professional Theatre Women turned into a mob of shrieking fans. Laura Linney handled it all perfectly but she looked relieved when she was allowed to go.
