Welcome back!! We wouldn't be doing our due diligence if we didn't give the ladies a chance to be featured for that whole Character Actor thing. We talked about our favorite five fellas a couple of weeks ago, now we'll dish about the ladies!
To be clear, what makes someone a "Character Actress?"
A 'character actress' typically refers to an actress who specializes in playing distinctive, unique, and often supporting roles that are memorable due to their personality, appearance, or quirks. These roles often deviate from conventional leading or romantic roles and require the ability to portray a wide range of characters. Character actresses are known for their versatility, transformative performances, and ability to bring depth to supporting roles, adding richness to the storytelling.
We also somewhat operated under the same "code" from the Character Actor episode, which basically identified these rules, as previously posted on New York Magazine's VULTURE site:
➼ The Jenkins Rule: If a performer has been nominated for an Oscar, that performer is ineligible.
➼ The Dowd-Martindale Rule: If a performer has won a lead or supporting actor Emmy, that performer is ineligible. (Winners of an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor are permitted.)
➼ The Hahn Rule: If a performer currently works primarily as a lead, that performer is ineligible.
OH NO! Spoiler Alert!!!! Does anyone with the last name Hahn or Martindale factor into today's episode? I guess you'll have to listen and see!!
