My Take
Kathleen Nolan is fascinating to me less for her five years as Kate McCoy than for what she did afterward. Becoming president of the Screen Actors Guild meant stepping off the screen to fight for the people on it, and that takes a different kind of nerve than acting. I see her as proof that a performer can carry both talent and principle, using hard-won visibility to protect colleagues with less of it. The Crystal Award reads to me as recognition of exactly that spine. She strikes me as the dependable elder who shouldered the room.
