    9.8 Superb
    Amazing and funny actress. hide show

    Sometimes I'm asking myself: "Why always me?". I'm not talking about hitting my toe somewhere or getting scratched by my cat. I'm talking about the love I have to give to very small supporting roles. No one else likes or notices them but I pay more attention to these characters than to any of the shows' big stars. Lucy Davis is one of these people. From the first moment I saw her on Studio 60 I fell in love with her character and that talented actress playing her. It might be the disarming accent- I'm not sure- and to be honest I don't care because isn't that what makes her so fantastic? She's mysterious but not unreal. She's funny but not ridiculous. She's blond but not dumb. Short: She's a very special lady worth paying more attention to.
