Mary-Louise Parker

And I'm no moralist when it comes to this stuff.

But When Claire Danes did an interview with Howard Stern, I want to say about five to seven years ago, and Howard Stern asked Claire Danes about Billy Crudup leaving his then eight months pregnant long-term girlfriend, Mary Louise Parker, for Claire.

She expressed zero regret or remorse for the way in which that down.

She said, hey, I was young.

Changed lives, you betcha.

Sean Diddy Combs changed lives, blew up cars.

What can't that guy do? Beat up his girlfriend in the fucking elevator bank at an LA hotel and paid off the cops.

Roman Polanski, changing lives.

point.

Mary Louise Parker.

She

was in Weeds? Yeah, that's where I know her from.

so we

got away from the cast.

So, yeah, Mary Louise Parker, who is a minor part in this.

But does a fantastic job as the wife.

And the supporting cast is great, too.

Mary Louise Parker plays the boy's terrified mother.

Bradley Whitford is a smarmy assistant prosecutor.

Anthony Edwards is the clueless trial judge, and Anthony LaPaglia plays a wildly incompetent wannabe mobster.

You know, what can you say? One of the greatest casts ever assembled.

You know, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Justin Kirk, Mary Louise Parker, Patrick Wilson, Jeffrey Wright.

I mean, come on.

The list goes on and on and on and on.

And I love Meryl Streep as Ethel Rosenberg, especially when she picks up the phone dials 911 and goes, oh, and reacts to the touchtone going, oh, it sings.

I just, Justin Kirk should have been in the lead category at that Emmys, you know, Jeffrey Wright.

Ben Shankman, Patrick Wilson, Mary Louise Parker, Emma Thompson, all fabulous in it.

I could watch that six-hour miniseries anytime, and it's just so, so good.

And this one is less a question to be hard and more I just really love this piece of IMDb trivia.

This film was the first of four AIDS-related projects for Mary Louise Parker.

What does that mean? AIDS-related projects.

What is...

act like you just made that up

i got i know i should i got for the first time so probably 10 years ago i was in a chipotle and i maybe i've told this story on this podcast but the woman working looks up and she goes mind you i'm 5 11 you know plus i i almost had my full weight on camera and she looks at me she goes mary louise parker What? I look, I turn around and go, where? She goes, are you Mary Louise Parker?

What? Is

it me? She's like, yeah.

I've never laughed harder in my life.

That is so funny.

Mary Louise Parker? You don't even have the same hair.

We

Right.

They added a sweet, endearing, romantic subplot between Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker.

They completely shifted the register from a stark revenge thriller to an Ocean's 11 style romp.

I have to jump in here because this is where I really struggle as a fan of both mediums, is this kind of adaptation vandalism.

michelle pfeiffer or is that no

No, it was Mary Louise Parker.

Yeah,

that's
