My Take
Eileen Brennan is the kind of veteran I instinctively applaud. Georgetown-educated, she earned a Theatre World Award onstage in 1960, snagged a BAFTA nomination for The Last Picture Show, and went on to claim both an Emmy and a Golden Globe. Her comedic timing was immaculate, the sort that steals scenes from the supporting chair without ever begging for the spotlight. That she could sing too only widens the picture of her range. Sustaining a frontline career across more than half a century, until her passing in 2013, is its own quiet triumph. The great character actors deserve our loudest ovations.
