    Such a funny actress!! hide show

    I first came across Kathleen Noone as Mrs. Edna Wallace on Passions and boy is she such a comical actress! The ways that she works well with her co-stars, human or animal and the scenes that she's in on Passions, she steals or does her best to steal, because she does extremelly well in making her characters ones that you would just love to love! I think that Kathleen is a great actress that is being under appreciated and is underrated, just because she is starting to get older. In my opinion, she is one person who is aging very gracefully and has a lot of talent and brings much comdey and drama to the roles that she plays. I wish that she can star in more roles on other televison shows or in movies.
