Judith Light

Judith Light commands my respect for the sheer length and renewal of her career. She debuted on stage in 1970, won back-to-back Daytime Emmys for One Life to Live, and then, decades later, claimed consecutive Tony Awards for Best Featured Actress in 2012 and 2013. Peaking young is common; peaking again in your sixties is extraordinary. The Carnegie Mellon foundation gives her work a precision you can feel, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame star is well earned. I'm always drawn to actors who deepen rather than fade with age, and Light is close to the ideal version of that arc.
