Laurie is so good in everything she's done. Especially liked her on Big Bang Theory and in Scream 2, where that reveal at the end about 'Debbie Salt' was a true shock. The bubbly inept reporter facade falling away and the psychotic, angry mother coming through is probably the best acting moment in that franchise.

I first saw Judith when she was acting in the Milwaukee Repertoire Theatre years ago. It was obvious to everyone who saw her that she was going to move on to bigger and better opportunities. I agree with R9's comparison to Laurie Metcalf - her TV work "is no indication of her strength as a performer."
Laurie Metcalf's neurotic and easily flustered personality was the perfect foil to Roseanne's brash, tough nature. I think it was a great cast. John Goodman is a great comic actor too. Roseanne was always crazy much like she was in real life.
Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman were both well-regarded actors long before ROSEANNE. Goodman has made 4 movies with the Coen brothers, the first before ROSEANNE. Metcalf is a veteran theatre actress who started with the Steppenwolf Co. and made movies like DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN years before ROSEANNE.
Scares the fuck out of y'all. Ain't a facelift in the group and only Jackie with fillers and botox. Makes her look like a clown she has to work so hard to make a big goofy expression. There is a reason she stopped winning awards. Roseanne was much better looking than Laurie Metcalf, anyways. Funny. Darlene gives off a burnt sexual energy too.
Just like Laurie Metcalf is a vastly underrated second banana. She MADE "Roseanne" and "The Norm Show," and stole every scene on "The Big Bang Theory." Yes, Vic Tayback *was* Mel. You almost took him for granted. I loved "Jackie" in the old Roseanne show. Laurie Metcalf was so damn funny with her career crises: cop, truck driver, etc.
(Unpopular observation: the talented Laurie Metcalf devolves at the show goes along. I was watching season seven and she’s already kind of unrecognizable, her performance much broader than in the better days.)
Both episodes were uneven. I liked Laurie Metcalf as the dyke in charge, but the trip was filled with set pieces that didn't fully add-up. The cruise would have been better if Deborah hadn't sabotaged herself and Ava had too good a time--I don't see her as being able to get in with A-list lesbians, even with Deborah along.
You include Alfre Woodard and Laurie Metcalf but leave off "gay icons" such as Liza Minnelli, Better Midler, and Cher? I'm not advocating for any of them but the choices on the list are so poor it isn't worth voting.
