My Take

Peg Phillips earns my admiration not for fame but for timing. She came to acting late in life and turned that second act into something memorable, most beloved as storekeeper Ruth-Anne on Northern Exposure. I am moved by anyone who proves that ambition has no expiration date, and her long, sturdy career into her eighties says exactly that. There is a particular warmth to actors who play small-town fixtures convincingly, because it requires a gentleness that cannot be faked. She passed in 2002, but I think of her as evidence that the best chapters can arrive last, and that quiet conviction is its own reward.
