Judith's Light


And speaking of Ugly Betty, it may not be the best show on television but it's damn close to being one of the most enjoyable not in small measure due to its wonderful cast.

Judith Light is luminous and never misses a beat as the alcoholic, homicidal yet sympathetic matriarch. Those who appreciate her, of course, remember her run as the extremely flawed yet brimming with pathos, Karen Wolek on One Life to Live -- a landmark character full of noteworthy performances. Before she landed on Who's the Boss -- she made a pit stop on the best medical drama bar none, St. Elsewhere as an armed very pregnant woman who holds surgeons in an operating room hostage until the one who botched her husband's vasectomy is found. Given the opportunity, therefore, Judith Light is a consummate actor -- she enhances an already gifted ensemble.



Good stuff. (Hey, any show who showcases a twelve year old boy enacting Hairspray in a New York City subway for his muy macho papi deserves all the praise it gets.)
