My Take
Gretchen Mol has always felt to me like the dependable kind of actor a production is lucky to land. Her turn as the title role in The Notorious Bettie Page took nerve and grace, and her Gillian on Boardwalk Empire was quietly devastating. A Theatre World Award winner with stage roots, she brings real craft rather than flash. She's never been the relentlessly hyped star, but she slips into good material so naturally that you trust her instantly. I have a soft spot for that sort of reliable, unshowy excellence, and she embodies it.
