    Calista Flockhart is a really really great actress. I love her in Brothers and Sisters as Kitty Walker-McCallister. hide show

    I really really love Calista Flockhart. I first saw her from the movie The Birdcage and then I watched Brothers and Sisters and I began to love her more. She is just so amazing in the series. I watched Brothers and Sisters from the very first season until the latest episode right now. I just can't wait to watch the next episode that's coming this Sunday. I think that everybody should love her because she's just a great actress, a great mum, a great wife and a great person. I'd really love to meet her if I get a chance to. I love her as Kitty Walker but that doesn't mean that I don't love her herself. I wish that someday I can meet her..

    Great actress! hide show

    Very good actress and that too bad that she didn't get a movie career or two like people thought that she would be doing after Ally McBeal was over. She played the lead really well and that she became a star. I think that the media needs to backoff on her weight thing as she isn't anoxeric as well as looks good for her height and age. Glad that she is back on tv though in "Brothers & Sisters!" Sure it ain't no Ally McBeal despite an awesome ensemble. But glad that she is back on tv once again. And proves she is one heck of an actress!

    A great actress. hide show

    I have been familiar with Calista Flockhart since I was very young and she was on Ally McBeal. I never really watched Ally McBeal though. I only saw a few seconds of the show here and there when it was. Brothers & Sisters is the first show where I've ever been able to see what Calista is like as an actress, and after having watched the show, I have to say that Calista is an amazing actress. She plays the part of Kitty Walker so well. She's very good at being dramatic and funny. I've really enjoyed watching her Brothers & Sisters so far, and I'm looking forward to watching her as the show continues.

    Fun to watch hide show

    This woman is amazing. It's ashame I never paid attention to her on Ally McBeal but then again I wasn't such a big TV junkie as I am now. I must say she's great on Brothers & Sisters and I love her character on the show. She really portrays her character really well. She has me hooked to the way she makes you feel connected to her character because she makes her character have a bold expression that stands out. Her acting becomes realistic that you forget that in real life Kitty Walker doesn't exist. I definitely give this actress two thumbs up plus she's beautiful.
