Now, [Meryl Streep] notes, “Candy is sort of like a sister I never had,” with traits that are shy and sly, kind and sharp, all at the same time. And then, she said, there’s that surprising, throwing-her-head-back laugh, which Ms. Bergen used to great effect in the 1971 film “Carnal Knowledge.” [x]
I couldn’t have done [The Best Man] without John Larroquette. He rescued me repeatedly and told me from the very start: “I’ve got your back, babe”.
He is a skilled comedic actor who’s won five Emmys and a Tony. He is six-feet-five with white hair, a rubber face, and a commanding stage presence.
We’d worked together on Boston Legal, so I know he is deeply weird, eccentric, kind, and extremely intelligent. We are pals, and he makes me laugh.
On his way in, John would stop by my dressing room to chat while I did my makeup. (When they were working out my contract, I naively asked, “Do you think I could use Angela’s makeup person?” “Honey, you’re your own makeup person.”) John would watch as I tried to put on my false eyelashes; I’d glue my eyes together and have to peel them apart and pull my own eyelashes out.
