It makes me so happy that she is in the world. Brilliant, articulate, impressionistic, authentic, balsy, beautiful, rebel Natasha.

[@albertmarnell9976]

A flash of human light such as Natasha only comes along very, very, very, RARELY!. She is so spontaneous and natural in a fake horrible world. I don't know you personally or intimately Natasha but I Truly Love You!!!

[@t.j.sortino7844]

SUCH A FAN OF HER WORK AND HER MIND! RARE GEMS LIKE THIS ARE TREASURED FOREVER!

[@erikamartinez7764]

God I love Natasha lyonne so much.

[@cindyslavik5391]

I love Natasha’s brain! It’s like the drugs enhanced her (don’t come for me) She’s intelligent, self aware, hilarious. Can you imagine what a hoot she is to hang out with ❤

[@liminal6823]

No eye makeup out of character Natasha is so gorgeous

[@DrabCity]

oh hell yeah! I've seen every interview w Natasha Lyonne there is onine, finally a new one! Love this woman, her presence, her jewish NY accent, the shoulders in the neck sort of posture and that she calls movies "pictures" like in the good old days. This is rather pathetic but I lowkey hope one day she'll hear our music and it will be featured on Russian Dolls. *sigh*

[@esthermanning1100]

I'm so inspired by Natasha as an aspiring actress and relate to her in many ways. I watched Russian doll planing on watching one episode then maybe sleeping and ended up watching the full series till 5 and thought it was amazing! hope to create something of my own one day that I can be creatively free

[@Jay-vo6cx]

Agree it's a great show I hope there is a season 3

[@GarySomersprofile]

If Natasha were in the cast of friends I would actually watch it.

[@karenschneiderman7180]

Natasha is an amazing woman - articulate and funny and so talented. How great to have a conversation with her. I am also in love with anyone whose favorite (one of on her part?) film with A Woman Under the Influence, the movie I have seen the most and love more than any other. Russian Doll is great. N, you can do anything!!
