Louise Lasser

Louise Lasser will always be Mary Hartman to me, and that's a compliment to how completely she inhabited one of the strangest, smartest satires American television ever attempted. Earning an Emmy nomination for playing that deadpan housewife took real precision, the kind that hides how hard it is. I also note she started on Broadway in 1962 and later turned to teaching the craft, which tells me her interest in performance ran past her own fame. She's never been an A-list name, but for anyone who values offbeat, intelligent comedy, she's an essential one.
