My Take
Edie McClurg is the patron saint of the scene-stealing supporting role, and I love her for it. You may not know the name, but you've felt her warmth in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Carrie and countless voice roles that earned her an Annie Award. That Kansas City sweetness she brings to every cheerful, slightly ditzy character is its own craft. To me she's the stock that flavors the whole dish, never the main course but utterly essential. I have endless respect for actors who make a career out of these small, perfect appearances. She quietly held up decades of American comedy.
