Trivia
Quotes
  • I have played a couple of nice moms in my career [think Jennifer Grey`s mom in the classic film Dirty Dancing] but, in my opinion, playing nice is a complete bore! The nastier they are the more fun they are [as in Howard Stern`s mom in Private Parts, perhaps?].
    (imdb.com)
  • "I would never be Emily`s friend in real life. She`s so opinionated and status quo - definitely not my kind of woman."
  • "My friends and neighbors get such a kick out of watching me on television and in movies. They see me do and say things that I would never even think of doing in my real life. They just think it is hysterical, especially when I play mean."
  • "My relationship with Lauren is nothing like the roles we play on the show. I am just crazy about my girls. Practically from the moment [Lauren and I] met, we had an instant connect. We never even had to discuss what we wanted to do with our roles. It`s as if we have this emotional shorthand."
