My Take
Frances Conroy is, to me, the heartbreaking center of Six Feet Under, her Ruth Fisher a study in repressed feeling that fully deserved the Golden Globe and three SAG Awards. Born in Monroe, Georgia, she came up the classical way, through theater before film, television, and voice work, and it shows in how completely she inhabits a role rather than performing around it. She never trades on flash; she burrows inward with a Scorpio's bottomless focus, later lending eerie gravity to American Horror Story. I'm drawn most to veteran actors with this kind of textured depth, and Conroy is a quiet master.
