I first knew about Andie from Sex, Lies. She blew me away; she was perfection as Anne Bishop Mulaney. And lately, her performance in Maid actually made me cry; the breakdown was devastating. I've always thought she was under-rated as an actor because of her great beauty. And it's great to see a Carolina gal make it and make us proud!

I concur with your sentiment 100% 💟 Australia.

[@IsraelBenitez-ev7mj]

I ❤ her...she is a good example of how you can age and be beautiful...you can be old and look old but be beautiful too

[@Jaac822]
