My Take

Laura Leighton has the rare distinction of being embraced by two entirely different generations of viewers. As Sydney on Melrose Place she defined a slice of 1990s television, then returned for the 2009 revival, and as Ashley Marin on Pretty Little Liars she won over a whole new audience. Sustaining relevance across decades is, to me, the clearest proof of genuine craft rather than a moment of luck. I also like that she came out of Iowa City, far from the industry's gravity, and outlasted flashier contemporaries. That combination of warmth and durability is exactly what I admire in a long career.
