My Take
Amanda Plummer is one of the most singular presences in American acting. Born in New York in 1957, she won a Tony on stage and multiple Emmys on television, and her stage-honed intensity bleeds into every screen role. Whether the unhinged diner robber in Pulp Fiction or her turn in The Hunger Games, she brings a live-wire unpredictability that makes it impossible to look away. I am drawn to actors who can quietly steal an entire film from a supporting slot, and she does it through pure focus. Still working into the Star Trek era, she remains gloriously uncompromising.
