She's twice my age but I've had a massive crush on her since I was a kid. Such a beautiful woman in and out who's aging like fine wine.

[@kme321]

I also have a crush on her, she is very beautiful

[@isaacalvarez2980]

Amen

[@isaacalvarez2980]

Damn right

[@lwood898]

Classic beauty.

[@mauricioalejandro74]

Mel E. She’s sexy as hell.

[@IvyRoad]

I think exactly the same thing: If Laura Linney is in it, it has to be good. And it generally is. She makes interesting and intelligent choices.

[@IvyRoad]

And I had to come back to say that without Stephen Colbert, a whole lot of people I know would not have been able to get through the past two years.

[@roderickstevens2993]

Ooh laura linney such poise & grace, attractive smart & wise! You go lady you have many fans!

[@brightlight7217]

Marty is better.

[@xhighone]

That's a great point. I'm pretty sure I agree with this.

[@waggishsagacity7947]

WithMetta: I always try to remember that actors perform in movies, but don't make the movies: This role is reserved to the screenwriter, the director, and the producer who occasionally fail even great actors. So if you see Laura Linney or someone of her caliber in an awful movie, don't blame her --unless her acting is off. In her case, it NEVER is.

[@luvyou-baby]

she even hotter in her 50's

[@SLAYBURG]

goddamn right

[@userap3127]

So true!

[@huishaai]

She has the greatest laugh :)

[@robertcartier5088]

it's genuine. (Or she's really, really good at acting like a real person... either way, I'm sold!) ;-)

[@verylwoody]

I straight up cringed when I heard her laugh because it sounded so fake.

[@gwtwvivien]

She completely deserves an Emmy for her role. She is an amazing actress and a very beautiful too.

[@andyoh4922]

"Hi Laura Linney and this is Masterpiece Classic?"

[@MsMak12356]

she's one of my favorite actresses.

[@joshdiaz05]

That had to be the most comfortable I've ever seen a guest be. They both are clearly fans of one another and it showed. Can't go wrong with Laura Linney.

[@telectronix1368]

JD - "Can't go wrong with Laura Linney" Well, there was that 'Congo' film....

[@michaelcelani8325]

@@telectronix1368 Oh yeah...that Congo film with the pet gorilla was a shock that she was in that weird film.

[@alex_montoya]

She's so cool...

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

I love her on Ozark. If anyone hasn't seen it I definitely recommend watching it. It's very similar to Breaking bad.

[@SirCornelioAgripa]

For me, is even better.

[@lwood898]

She’s the best one in it. ESP this new season.

[@paozialcita933]

@@SirCornelioAgripa for me too it's better than BB! Especially that season 3 man!!!!!!!! I'll be angry if they don't win any Emmys

[@donnadizucchero]

Much better, way way way better.. The whole family gets involved and stunning performances from everyone, i am especially amazed by all the supporting actors, what a craft.. And the concept is more subtle i would say. They are not "breaking" bad, they run for their lives...

[@100385188]

It's better. Breaking bad was 3 seasons of material over 5 seasons. Ozark has been 4 seasons of material in 3 seasons. It's action packed.

[@pirateman1966]

She doesn't look a day older than 38! Holly shit... she is 54 ??!!! Gorgeous smile and dimple. Just a beautiful creature.

[@A.A_xv]

PirateKitty she is omg? She hasn’t aged a day since the Truman show.

[@jennydinh2904]

Wow. I found my new actress. Her acting is soooooooo amazing that I get chills watching her as Wendy in Ozark. I believe her that she is way more phenomenal off camera lol. So humble and so amazing at acting

[@jorymcmillian3432]

What a beautiful person! I wish humility was trending.

[@deepaknayakmanel8581]

She makes intelligent acting choices. Never seen a bad performance by her. Just like Julianne Moore. She's terrific in Ozark.

[@susancorgi]

She still looks great after all these years! And her voice is so unique. You can recorgnize her voice right away anywhere.

[@mansoni7103]

She doesn’t age, does she? I feel like she looked exactly like this 20 years ago. 🔥

[@M3lCHOR]

Mansoni is the dimples

[@shaheradel534]

Right, this is the woman whom I dream to marry even if she got 100 years old.

[@slatebeard]

Makeup isn't what it was 20 years ago too...

[@Babatunde24]

Surgery

[@waggishsagacity7947]

It's nice to see & hear an actor who is humble about her abilities. That said, Laura Linney is nothing of the kind: She's been a great actress for ...well 20-25 years. A wonderful interview.

[@belllarosa]

She's adorable! My mom loves her and introduced me to her work now I'm a fan too! Phenomenal actress - her facial expressions alone can tell the whole story💕💕GO LAURA!

[@ceofounder]

What a lovely, beautiful, multitalented actress/thespian and woman amongst women! So happy for her success! Her performance in "Mystic River" was riveting and compelling! This lady rocks!

[@amitnagpal1985]

She’s drop dead gorgeous.

[@조서현-m6k]

I'm 25 years old, but I fell in love with her acting style, beauty and voice. ♡♡♡

[@RebelBuddha1971]

First fell for Laura when I saw her on Tales of the City in 1994. Haven’t stopped falling since.

[@bt60613]

Same!!

[@lJUSTwanaCOMMENT]

She is such a sweet heart, I bet she won't even laugh in my face when I ask her to marry me.

[@BigBobBlazer]

Met her years ago in San Francisco. Super nice and friendly. Gave us autographs and even supplied the paper if I remember correctly 😂. Just down to earth and engaging. Made watching her movies even more enjoyable.

[@judykinsman3258]

I love Laura Linney - Tales of the City was the absolute best PBS series ever! Amazing - she never ages!

[@samgunz1]

She's an attractive, mature woman.. Definitely has cougar vibes.. The family guy skit did her no justice lol

[@PalemoonTwilight]

My husband and I are big Laura Linney fans. So happy to hear what she is up to. 💜

[@SandroMairata]

I met by chance this wonderful woman on the Times Sq. station back in 2011. She was humble, down-to-earth and funny. I took a selfie with her and the moment remains of my fondest memories.

[@jojogogo9709]

can you post it on Facebook? 😅😅

[@robertcartier5088]

Watch "The Big C" without falling madly in love with this talented actress -- I dare you! You will laugh, you will cry... You will want to call a friend.

[@myNEONCITY]

That is truly an amazing show made perfect by her performance!

[@morethan_enuff7074]

She's Soo beautiful and talented.. she is so intriguing..ughhhh love her

[@tamorap1614]

Wonderful actress and beautiful, elegant woman. I love her because she seems to be very genuine as a person.💝💝💝

[@romanetolaneta]

Does she ever age. She is still the same from the Truman show

[@mariahkemp969]

I fucking love this woman she’s an amazing actress. And soooo beautiful

[@johnrolle6645]

I know there's the Iron Lady picture already but I'd to see this actress do a turn as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

[@johnrolle6645]

That is: I would like to see Laura Linney portray Margaret Thatcher

[@paozialcita933]

Been a fan since the Truman show! Then when I watched Ozark man! Her performance especially in season 3 is Emmys worthy!

[@tlotus3032]

I have a lady crush on her.

[@ernestomarcos0103]

Tlotus Out of curiosity, is your name a reference to Melania being Trump's third wife or was it just a coincidence?

[@phalexasky5365]

me too ;)

[@moravian7]

Methinks, it stands for "Tantric Lotus?"

[@tlotus3032]

Matt V. LOL Love it!

[@greycard163]

Her voice is so charming, I want to listen to her audio book.

[@kdmdlo]

Laura Linney is smart, funny, talented and absolutely beautiful. She's all that and a bag of chips.

[@bonjievizzle]

Is it crazy that even though I know she's acting, I am still scared of her making me bankrupt

[@torch1108]

Been killing it for years and years. Those final scenes with Tom Phelpry in season 3 of Ozark, were flat out some of the best acting I've seen in years. So believable!🤔

[@ericofthewest24]

A lot of actresses today can't seem to nail Late Night interviews like Laura Linney! She's cultured and intelligent but doesn't go out of her way to force in misplaced banter or politics. She clearly knows how to talk to people and keep everything down to earth.

[@OrdinaryG33K-SF]

She's a Beautiful woman, and an AMAZING actress. So much depth! Love her! She's GREAT in Ozark. If you haven't watched it yet, you owe it to yourself to do so!

[@55555gino]

She’s amazing and looks fantastic ! Still looks like in Love Actually 😎🔥

[@Vivienz_49]

I could live in her laugh ❤️

Love her so much

i love her. i knew her as the downton abbey announcer lady before i saw her in ozark lol 🤯 she blows me away in that show

Just finished season 3 of the Ozark.. Awesome season and she put some amazing acting.

[@jhomalinao5372]

She deserves an Oscar and Tony! Please!

[@justinhunt2145]

I love Laura Linney. Such a funny person. Love her laugh. Just makes me want to laugh.

[@NewMessage]

I still get excited that 'Summer is comming' in late spring, until I remember that I'm an adult now, and there's no 2 month Summer Vacation on the horizon.

[@zinakan]

She is so beautiful!!

[@jamesbest2221]

LOVE Laura Linney! Wow, Ozark season 2!!! I literally binge watched Ozark 1 last summer since I couldn’t stop watching it. The only bad thing about it was that it ended. I need to catch a flu so I can stay in bed and watch season 2.

[@edkeaton6360]

She's such a very beautiful and talented actress. I hope ssto see her win something some day. Plus she's got some killer legs.♥️🙏✌️😎

Paul Hogan once thought _he_ had made it, so he started turning down roles, and then his career fell apart.

I need a job, mate!!

[@TheGrenfellRatio]

George lazenby stopped being bond cos he thought he'd made it.

[@TheGrenfellRatio]

[@kennyloggins465]

truly amazing actress

[@drewcm4617]

The Big C made me discover this brilliant talent or Laura Linney (I only saw Love Actually with her before) and now I’m about to explore everything with and about her. She’s just something else. She’s literally giving me life.

[@neurofire]

She also has the most delightful laugh....

[@JessicaChastainFan]

Laura is absolutely gorgeous.

[@fwcraigslist]

We all know what you did for the summer away from the city. Nice interview to show you are a good citizen of the community. Good brand representation.

[@cnj420]

She seems like a genuine person.

[@luisperez1007]

I don’t trust her even in real life 😆

She doesnt look any older than she did in mothman prophecies,and that was 20 years ago.crazy.

Deserved an Emmy for Ozark

[@simon5005]

I first saw LL almost 25 years ago on PBS's "Tales Of The City", and she was so awesome. No surprise she's still around and going strong.

[@MrChannelnamehere]

One of the most underrated actresses out there. She deserves more leading roles in movies.

[@toniandreu8494]

I don't know if Laura really "made it" but she's one of the best actress right now. And by right now I meaning the last 20 years.

[@Hollins23]

She's gorgeous!!

[@ChaklitTea]

Is It weird She’s in every series/movie I love

[@lilshabaz1862]

She is still so beautiful. She's got those dimples you just want to curl up in

[@kasunmadhusanka]

Her acting is spectacular on the show. I mean top notch stuff. I think she's not getting enough recognition.

[@ckmpeacock]

Had a mild passing interest in Ozark when I learned Jason Bateman was in it, but hey, there's lots of good tv out there. Laura Linney is in it??? Sold. How do I start watching this right now while I'm at work?

[@d1chosen973]

Loving her since the movie congo...

[@MADBOenter]

Yo Reece......same. Discovered, got hooked, binged all 3 seasons over 3-4 days, and am now feeding my addiction while anxiously waiting for S4 by searching KZbin for anything related to Ozark and actors Bateman, Garner, and Linney

[@PrincessDiana1256]

LAURA linney.... you made it 25 years ago! Still going. Adore your work... such humility...love your idea of walks, books,etc... totally understand that desire of summer... ice cream at the top. You are my hero! DOWNTON ABBEY ....

[@GuiiBrazil]

Great interview.

[@FLRSKLVR]

This woman is 56 years old but she is so youthful. Not in the way she looks perse I mean she's stunning obviously but she just carries herself so gracefully and uncomplicated.

[@wilfridfred1055]

What a wonderful and talented woman.underated

[@johnpogel8993]

My personal opinion as to why Laura Linney "hasn't made it" is because her character in The Truman Show was such a fukr. Dat product placement tho...

[@mammothorbust]

She seems like such a nice person, but after seeing her in Truman Show and Ozark I’d never be able to fully relax around her

[@lillysweet8016]

I love her 😍

[@EddyTheDevil1]

Such a lovely mommy!

[@notyobidness6218]

She's Spectacular.

[@ryanhernandez6002]

She carries herself so well

[@polanco187]

Laura Linney is a really good actress. I'd watch anything she's in.

There's a new "Tales Of The City" coming??!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
