Lili Taylor

Lili Taylor is one of those actors who never needed a blockbuster to prove her worth — she built her entire reputation on sheer commitment and an almost eerie ability to disappear into a role. Growing up in Illinois and training at DePaul, she broke through in the late '80s with Mystic Pizza and Say Anything, but the '90s indie scene is where she truly made her mark: I Shot Andy Warhol, Short Cuts, The Addiction — she was everywhere that mattered, doing the work that the big studios ignored. I've always admired how she never chased mainstream fame; she'd just as soon do a gripping stage run as a horror hit like The Conjuring or a prestige TV arc like Six Feet Under. There's an authenticity to her that feels genuinely rare, a performer who seems incapable of a false note.
