Maura Tierney Breaks Down Her Career: 'ER', 'The Affair', 'The Report' & More | Entertainment Weekly

[@Daniel130782]

one of the most underrated actresses ever.

[@cudaus1]

She was my favorite on ER. I couldn't take my eyes off of her during the show. Great actress.

[@mkitahara]

Her acting is seemingly effortless. It's what sets her apart from others.

[@PeeVee1979]

I've been re-watching ER now that HBO got it. Maura Tierney is absolutely incredible. Her acting is so natural and effortless and her comic timing is spot on. I wish Newsradio would be available somewhere.

[@kyleebristow6223]

Hi @peevee8653, I'm currently watching Newsradio on Binge (after years of saying 'I wish Newradio was available somewhere! lol). Enjoy!

[@gogyoo]

Combine that with Sally Fields...

[@sweetlife031]

She actually joined in season 6, episode 8 🙂

[@paulacastellodecarvalho8650]

I love Maura Tierney! She’s so classy, cool, beautiful ♥️

[@sweetlife031]

Did you know that Maura was supposed to play Sarah on Parenthood but she had cancer and couldn’t stay because she was going through chemo? 😢

[@superby1]

She looks like a joy to sit down and have a conversation with!

[@amyzankowitz9921]

They did such a good job with her character on ER they really portrayed how she was a “mess”. I lived her character after she became a doctor I loved how she broke the rules and didn’t care she just wanted to help people

[@rachelraye285]

Just watched the entire ER series and so glad I found this

[@_Lane_]

Then you should watch _The Affair_ if you haven't watched it yet 'cause that series is fantastic as well (along with Maura's character, Helen)!!! 😉

[@pam0626]

This interviewer really knows her stuff. Great job interviewing one of my favorite actresses.

[@jackiesmalley3339]

She is so underrated as an actress it's unbelievable. And she's beautiful and humble to boot.

[@alexaltego]

She’s so real it’s refreshing to see and pretty adorable. Love her. And hope to see her more in future projects.

5:35 "I loved working with Goran" Excuse me, I'm gonna go cry my Luby shipping heart out

[@silverlining6609]

What a beautiful talented woman...

[@PutsOnSneakers]

And she's +50 but she turns me on!

[@johii19]

This interview is so good! Everything was flowing and Maura is just such a delight!

[@knappflickan]

what a treasure! she’s amazing!

[@BeeHatGuy]

I absolutely loved her on Newsradio

[@charlesjackson7922]

Love her

[@Crimson11100]

I've just finished the Affair and it was so great, the actors were amazing and Brandon Fraser scared me to death in season 3. My fave season.

[@nancybodwell4335]

Such an amazing actress!

[@ΝΙΚΟΛΑΟΣΠΕΤΡΟΤΖΟΓΛΗΣ]

ADORABLE WITH AMAZING TALENT! I BELIEVE SHE IS THE BEST ACTRESS IN THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT.

[@_Lane_]

Nope. That's Meryl Streep. 😉 (But Maura Tierney is great as well. 😇)

[@pam0626]

This interviewer is really good.

[@PutsOnSneakers]

yea such positive relaxed vibe I kinda wanna ask her out on a date to continue that good feeling

[@pam0626]

@@PutsOnSneakers Go for it! 😀

[@meaggysw]

I’m so in love with her

[@carolewatson-mckoy8689]

Yes a truly beautiful talented woman. She's so petite and elegant. She was great in The Affair. I love her voice. She reminds me of a cute little doll!

[@jeffb9939]

I love her. Just saw the Affair.

[@ariesrainbowchild]

I love her so much thank you😊

[@entertainmentweekly]

Thank YOU for watching! ☺️

[@ene8894]

I used to watch her drama ER in Japan. It was a good drama.

[@queenfan69]

Love Maura so much❤️

[@mattjones5987]

Discovered her on Newsradio, fell in love. Someday I hope to tell her lol

[@_Lane_]

I love her glasses! 😎

[@taratata1999]

Love her so much

[@BrandonWestfall]

I am so glad they went over Primal Fear. It's one of the best movies of any of their careers.

[@Whoareyounot]

Gosh I love Maura Tierney 🥰😍

[@bumblebee5221]

Awesome actress Maura tierney

[@sofiad6713]

I watch the er stars in the house reunion and now I won’t stop getting er recommendations. Not that I’m complaining😂

[@stanacat]

Same haha

[@ericworthamii6945]

I love Maura!

[@thenameislex]

Loved watching this! Thank you :) I love, too, how in The Report she is playing someone who is kind of the bad guy

[@ariesrainbowchild]

Thank you 🙏

[@BradyPostma]

I am just watching to hear if NewsRadio is mentioned. And it is! 2:35

[@leilahbakogiannis156]

Who else got here from getting into a random ER rabbit hole... 🕳 🐰

[@frankbarrie6785]

Me lol

[@eloy89]

Started ER on April 6, 2021 Currently on Season 13 as of May 9, 2021.

[@jedijones]

I only know her from Newsradio and still can't imagine her doing a serious role, LOL. Because she was so good doing comedy.

[@lashany2626]

Good to see MT on the sofa

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday maura from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of

[@joelybgood]

I luf her so much.

[@gapjunction11]

5:05 Actually, Fire Marshall Bill DID show up out of nowhere in that movie. He can be seen in the background, when Maura Tierney and Cary Elwes talk to the police in the end scene.

[@kamransayah]

I'm here because of Liar Liar, who else? Such a fun movie watched more than 10 times :D

[@samanthalucas8070]

Maura I like you as a nurse and Doctor on ER you are the best and also on Family Ties love this Show to From Samantha Lucas

[@marcusparma6200]

Totally agree on both accounts. I luv females with eyes like her than see her do a dramatic role so incredibly well & do comedic role equally well. The affair was my favorite. i just binge watched 10 hour episodes 1st yrar

[@MD-wk3gj]

It’s great when someone isn’t all PC about everything as Maura is here speaking about Al Pacino not speaking to her all of a sudden.

[@squatch545]

I've wanted to marry Maura Tierney since News Radio.

[@thenextrung]

Ditto

[@andrewc3458]

Made any headway with that?

[@mariolouro9764]

she is still got it at 55

[@nik1128]

Always have to bring up age in a backhanded compliment

[@PutsOnSneakers]

​@@nik1128 what do you mean "backhanded" ? The fact that YOU'RE the one taking issues with it, is because YOU are the one that associates negative connotations to age. that lady at 55 STILL GOT IT! = ALL POSITIVE!

[@malia8643]

my crush 💕😅

[@pierovazquez3339]

I loved her and hated her... the moment I saw her in the OBYGN scene in er, I knew she had to be one of the main characters in ER.

[@cheriemeade4753]

rick says she maura is very smart actress she picks parts real well i wonder if her mom and dad ever asked wuy wasnt she a doctor in real life

[@MAFion]

They skipped Dead Women in Lingerie with Jerry Orbach.

[@amigiles3825]

Don’t you think when she was younger she looked like Jennifer Anniston

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

No, I don’t see any resemblance at all.

[@pattyrswepston7718]

She reminded me of Patty Duke.

[@edwardsullivan8041]

Maura is still Simply Irresistible...

[@nibora4895]

I love Maura, but she really needs to lay off the plastic surgery. Idk why beautiful people want to do that to themselves?

[@kineticpsi]

Probably because it's her body and the only person she has to answer to is herself.

[@nibora4895]

@@kineticpsi no really?? I would have never guessed that thanks for telling me.

[@kineticpsi]

@@nibora4895 My pleasure. I'm happy I could be of assistance.

[@shawnuel]

Seriously? Has she had any? Sure doesn't look like it to me.

[@RandomPlayIist]

She actually doesn't look like she had any. She's just older.

[@christopherallen9580]

She dropped a bomb on me

[@jmstowe]

Maura needs to talk to a good optician, her eyeglasses do not look good on her face.

[@stayinshape-8379]

You have no taste

[@_Lane_]

I really like her glasses! 😎 (I loved it on _The Affair_ as Helen, too!)

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

They’re much too big and bulky for her face.

[@wueskew169]

Though I recognize that an actor doesn't write his or her own material, I found Maura Tierney as Abby Lockhart on "er" to be joyless and unsympathetic. I'm a huge "er" fan. Unfortunately, when the series shifted to a disproportionate focus on the characters of Luka and Abby, the series began its sharp decline into soap opera land. Honestly, I don't consider Tierney to be a very good actor.
