    i think she's absolutely adoreable! hide show

    the first time i saw this actress was in the movie "How To Win A Date With Tad Hamelton". since then i've been watching her on a regular basis on the show big love. in face i have even been compared to her character Margene a number of times in the past fer weeks. I think she is a great actress. her portrayal of the quirky third wife how marries into a completely new family and has to pick up the slack for so many things leaves you feeling almost sorry but heartwarmed for her. she's an absolute charmer in this show and helps us to realize the hardships that young mothers have to go through. even though she is "married" she doesn't get the help a normal wife would get because bill has already been through those times and is unable to see her difficulty with it. as does nikki. barb seems to be the only one other than the audience that gets her true nature. Bravo to ginnifer and her beautiful portrayal of our troubled new mother and sister wife
