My Take
Juliet Landau is one of those performers I think of as defined by a single unforgettable character, Drusilla on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, even though her range is far wider. That mad, sing-song vampire remains a masterclass in making menace feel fragile and almost pitiable. What surprises people is the trained ballerina underneath; that dancer's control over body and voice is exactly what made Drusilla so eerily precise. Her turn as Loretta King in Tim Burton's Ed Wood shows the same eye for off-kilter, period-specific texture. She earned that Saturn nomination, and to me she remains a cult-favorite character actor in the best sense.
