Laura Linney: TV Guide News

A Sunday for the History Books | Roush Dispatch | 4/18/2008
I love it when TV can be both very, very good as well as good for you. Such is the case with a logjam of terrific historical dramas competing for attention this Sunday. Two of them had me fighting back tears (and occasionally losing the fight), and then there’s Showtime’s The Tudors, that stimulating royal tonic of sex, religion and other courtly intrigues. Not a lot of boo-hooing while watching this Henry VIII romp, but rarely a dull moment, either.The quality honors this weekend go... read more
Bones Is Back, and Other Happy TV Thoughts | Roush Dispatch | 4/14/2008
Why not start off a glorious spring week — a week that continues the welcome rollout of shows returning from long strike hiatus — with some positive thoughts? Starting with the return of Bones to Fox’s schedule. For those keeping track in this confusing midseason, Mondays are now the new Tuesdays for Fox. And once House kicks back in with new episodes starting April 28 (a House repeat airs next Monday), Mondays will almost feel like the new Thursdays with so many choices on the... read more
Cheers: The Adams Family's Real Star | Cheers & Jeers | 3/17/2008
Cheers (or should I say "Huzzah!") to Laura Linney for her glorious portrayal of Abigail Adams in HBO's rousing miniseries John Adams. It's easy to understand the Founding Father's devotion to his First Lady: She's headstrong yet steadfast, fiercely protective of her family and knows how to handle a gun. Where can I find a woman like that? The Savages star should've won an Oscar or two by now, but she can rest assured she'll win her third Emmy (after Frasier and 2001's TV-movie Wild Iris) for... read more
Gary Busey Goes After Ryan Seacrest | Today's Top Videos | 2/25/2008
We’ve always been fairly certain that Gary Busey is cookoo for Cocoa Puffs, but after last night’s red carpet incident where he went after Ryan Seacrest in the middle of another interview and kissed Jennifer Garner on the neck, we’re positive that’s the case. Beyond wanting to know why this guy is so whacked, what we’re dying to know is, why the hell was Gary Busey even there in the first place? read more

Bridget Moynahan Finally Delivers, More Love Notes | Today's News: Our Take | 8/23/2007

In the Works: Psycho Scribe Scares Up Sudser | Today's News: Our Take | 12/11/2006
Maybe because Masters of Horror sucks so very, very badly this season, Showtime, says the Hollywood Reporter, is developing a new spookfest — The Canyons, a spine-tingling soap opera from American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis and Dave Kalstein. In the proposed series, a group of presumably hot twenty- and thirtysomethings "encounter violent situations and anxieties that are briefly manifested as monsters." In other words, me, after watching another disappointing MOH.... According to... read more

Laura Linney's Film Phobia | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/15/2004
You'd think an actress who's appeared in nine movies over the past four years would be used to seeing herself on the big screen. But Laura Linney admits she still has difficulty watching any film she appears in. "I've gotten better at it over time," confesses the Oscar-nominated actress. "I'll watch a movie once or sometimes twice if I can bear it. The thing is, you're dying to see the movie to see what everyone else has done and then this thing shows up that's you, and you want to throw ... read more
Liam Neeson: He's a Sexpert! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/12/2004
Few established movie stars would be willing to take on a project like Kinsey, the sure-to-be-controversial biopic about groundbreaking sex scientist Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Yet Liam Neeson didn't hesitate to sign on the dotted line when writer/director Bill Condon approached him to play the title role. In fact, Neeson had been waiting to work with Condon since seeing his critically acclaimed feature Gods and Monsters at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998. "I was on the festival jury and I ... read more
