My Take
For me, Kimberly Williams-Paisley will always be the bride from Father of the Bride -- that 1991 role launched her, and the 1995 sequel cemented it. What I appreciate is how she didn't stay boxed in as the ingenue. The 10th Kingdom, According to Jim, and Nashville show real range across fantasy, sitcom, and drama, and the fact that she also writes, produces, and directs tells me she wanted control over her own work. A Northwestern grad from Rye, New York, she strikes me as someone who built a durable, many-sided career on her own terms. I respect performers who keep widening the lane instead of repeating themselves.
