I must get last Sunday's NYT Magazine in hard copy...

...because my idol, LAURA LINNEY, is the cover story.

It's a pretty good article, too, once you get past the condescending suggestion that she has yet to hit the big time. Laura Linney is one of the few actresses over 40 who IMO has achieved exactly the career she deserves. And I mean that as a compliment. She may not be getting all the obvious plum parts, à la Meryl Streep, but she's never lacking for quality work...because everyone knows how good she is.

My only complaint is that she hasn't yet won an Oscar *or* a Tony, despite being a frequent nominee.

Side note: I don't care what demons and life struggles he had to dispatch along the way - Frank Bruni is one lucky s.o.b. to jump from being the NYT food critic to interviewing & writing features on Laura Linney.
