For those new to the site, my philosophy on exactly what constitutes 'high quality' is found here. Be sure to check out all three picture galleries to your left. A versatile and pretty theater veteran with a distinctive voice and delicate features, Mary-Louise Parker was a well-traveled "army brat" who began her stage career in New York City during the mid-1980s. She earned a 1990 Tony nomination for her performance as a young bride who accidentally swaps souls with an old man in Craig Lucas' "Prelude to a Kiss" and later picked up an OBIE for her riveting portrayal of a victim of child abuse in Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning "How I Learned to Drive" (1997). In between, she essayed roles as diverse as a woman driven to madness by the birth of a deformed child in "Babylon Gardens" (1991), a schemingly ambitious actress in the black comedy "Four Dogs and a Bone" (1993) and the vocally-challenged saloon singer Cherie in a 1996 revival of "Bus Stop", opposite Billy Crudup. In 1998, Parker won critical kudos as a Cockney dominatrix who overhears a dying man's confession and attempts to save his victims by travelling back in time in Alan Ayckbourn's razor-sharp comedy "Communicating Doors". The actress' next stage appearance saw her offer an acclaimed turn (which netted her a Tony Award) as a mathematician coping with the legacy of her father in the Pulitzer-winning "Proof". Parker made her film debut as an abused girlfriend in "Signs of Life" (1989) and was the best friend of a gay man dealing with the AIDS crisis in "Longtime Companion" (1989), scripted by Lucas and directed by Norman Rene. She had a nice turn as a lonely secretary infatuated with her employer (Kevin Kline) in Lawrence Kasdan's "Grand Canyon", but it was her breakthrough part as an abused wife empowered by her friendship with a female cafe owner (Mary Stuart Masterson) in the sleeper "Fried Green Tomatoes" (both 1991) that really opened eyes to her facility for complex characterizations. Parker continued to build her resume with starring roles in the coming-of-age flick "Naked in New York," (1994) and opposite Matt Dillon in the gritty romantic comedy "Mr. Wonderful" (1993). After portraying the struggling mother of the adolescent title character in the thriller "The Client" and appearing as John Cusack's girlfriend in Woody Allen's popular comedy "Bullets Over Broadway" (1994), Parker was a series of sad and delightful revelations in "Boys on the Side" (1995). Her emotionally compelling turn as a young woman with AIDS recalled her work in "Fried Green Tomatoes" and was easily the best thing about the movie which also starred Whoopi Goldberg and Drew Barrymore. Reteaming with Norman Rene and Craig Lucas, Parker had a showy supporting part as Scott Glenn's paraplegic, deaf mute wife in their dark comedy "Reckless" (1995). She next appeared as Nicole Kidman's compatriot in Jane Campion's film version of the Henry James novel "The Portrait of a Lady" (1996). After Parker's awkward but attractive secretary romanced Don Johnson in Roland Jaffe's comic thriller "Goodbye Lover" (1998), she registered as the wonderfully high strung cake maker with no sense of taste in the 1999 Canadian-made "The Five Senses". Besides an early stint on the ABC soap "Ryan's Hope", Parker had appeared in only one TV-movie, the WWII drama "Too Young the Hero" (CBS, 1988), prior to her 1994 portrayal of a sullen, chain-smoking, AIDS-stricken mother who after a year's absence returns to legally reclaim her daughter from the pediatrics nurse-turned-foster parent played by Sissy Spacek in "A Place for Annie" (ABC). Since then, she has turned up frequently on the small screen, beginning with a deft performance as singer Phyllis McGuire in the HBO biopic "Sugartime" (1995). She has seduction on her mind in TNT's "Legalese" (1998), but her very direct legal assistant developed emotionally as the relationship with a young lawyer in the firm became more than just sex. In top form as a flaky, tragic divorcee in the stylish, yet quirky "Anne Tyler's 'Saint Maybe'" (CBS, 1998), she landed in another top-notch TV movie, "The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn" (CBS, 1999), portraying a compassionate psychiatrist whose association with the charming, innocent Sidney Poitier makes her re-evaluate her own priorities. The following year she was an unhappy young woman who finds renewed purpose after falling in love with Peter Gallagher in the "Hallmark Hall of Fame" production "Cupid & Cate" (CBS, 2000). Also in 2000, Parker began acting in the award-winning play "Proof" starring as Catherine, the enigmatic troubled young woman embroiled in a mathmatical mystery. Her performance garnered her a Tony Award for Best Actress in 2001 and in 2002, the role was handed down to Anne Heche. Parker stayed busy working in television where her role on "The West Wing" as Amy Gardner has been applauded by critics and earned the actress an Emmy nomination in 2002. Also in 2002, Parker filmed the "Red Dragon" with Anthony Hopkins and Ed Norton, the prequel to "Silence of the Lambs" (1991), and in 2003 she joined the A-list ensemble cast of HBO's acclaimed TV adaptation of the Tony award-winning "Angels In America," for which she earned an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie and a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. > Romance & Cigarettes (2005) ....
