The 'bitter woman of the prairie'


The actress playing this part is not listed in the credits... or IMDB. She delivers the "how do people change" speech. Who is she?

Yes, she is:

Thank you so much.

Curious though, when I look up the full cast list I get
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318997/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

your reference is:

What did I miss? These are completely different results. Do you have super powers?

No superpowers; I can't even keep myself from getting annoyed when I see people using apostrophes incorrectly.

"Angels in America" is classified as a TV series (really, a miniseries) instead of a movie by IMDb (which makes sense, since it is a multi-part series made for and first aired on television). On IMDb, an actor has to be in two or more episodes of a TV series before he or she shows up in the main series cast list (expanded version) that you get by clicking the Full cast and crew » link that is roughly in the middle of the main page. Since the Mormon Mother character only appeared in one half (they treated the halves as "episodes") I looked for Robin Weigert instead by clicking on the Episode Cast link at the bottom of the main page. This gives you casts for the individual episodes in a TV show, including people who, like Weigert, were "guest stars" on single episodes.

I really appreciate that you took the time to answer and then answer again. That's above and beyond the call. Thanks. Suddenly, however, I am apostrophe shy.

All the best — JS
