[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not Juliana Margulies being pale that makes her so severe looking - I think her coloring is beautiful.  She’s done something to her face and I can’t put my finger on it.  She just looks extremely gaunt. [/quote]

Yes, very severe looking. [/quote]

It's called aging, when you're skinny and don't do fillers and botox.[/quote]

Her hair color was awful too. You can’t do all black like that.  It looked like shoe polish. Even my husband commented on it (and he’s no metrosexual).

But I have loved her since her ER days.  Her voice soothes me. She is so calm in contrast to Bradley and I loved her NYC home with the snow on the patio.  I’ll move in.[/quote]

I still haven't forgiven Juliana Margulies for having so much friction with Archie Punjabi on The Good Wife that she wouldn't even appear in scenes with her such that their last scene on the show together where they say goodbye was filmed separately and spliced together -- possibly because Margulies didn't like Punjabi getting an emmy nom when Margulies was supposed to be the big star ... wut?  [/quote]

I mean, wut is right. Who cares about any of this? It has nothing to do with her performance. I liked her on the good wife and like her on this. If I read that she was abusive on set or treated assistants really poorly, it might make me think less of her and view her differently on screen. But rumors about some beef she had with another actress (who I also like)? Who cares? They are actors and likely more emotional than the average person, it is probably a function of needing to be able to access emotions easily while performing. I think it leads to a lot of their inter-personal problems. But I can't imagine that being the deciding factor in whether or not I like an actor's performance.

I think JM is good on this show. I don't think Reese is great but she has really benefitted from her characters relationships with Alex, Cory, and Laura, all of whom are played by what I think are better actors (or in Jennifer Aniston's case, an actor who better understands how to play to her strengths as a performer, even if she's always playing a version of herself). I think there are a number of actors on this show who really carry it, and would include JM in that group.[/quote]

I'm PP and I care.  I loved The Good Wife but if the actor is actually a backbiting jerk, that matters to me.  Once I knew Matt Lauer was harassing women, I didn't want to see him interview people anymore.  I don't watch Woody Allen movies anymore.  Everyone is different and some people care less about this stuff, but for me art isn't unconnected to the people who make it.

I'm still watching the Morning Show though so I guess either icing out a coworker isn't a fatal offense or I'm just a hypocrite.  But my read of her characters is now colored by that incident[/quote]

Except you're assuming JM was a villain based on nothing. What if AP was? Or both? What if it was just a difference of temperament and they just couldn't communicate well and it escalated? I read their different acting styles was part of the friction.[/quote]

Please. Everyone in the industry knows it was JM who was the problem.  Every set she’s been on, she’s been rumored to be difficult and condescending.  [/quote]

If being "difficult and condescending" is a hatable offense for actors, you might as well stop watching TV and movies. That's like 70-80% of all A-list actors. I don't understand how you can not know this.[/quote]
