My Take
What I admire most about Mary McDonnell is her gift for anchoring a film without ever grabbing the spotlight. From the quiet dignity of Dances With Wolves to the steely resolve of President Roslin in Battlestar Galactica, she conveys whole worlds with a single composed glance, the mark of an actor forged on the stage. Born in 1952, she has turned aging into an asset rather than a liability, holding the screen with a calm authority few performers ever earn. She is not a flashy star, and that is exactly why I find her so quietly indispensable and worth celebrating.
