Kathy Bates is the only one I ever heard of.

Now I see that she is as stupid as the roles she always portrayed. WHAT a moron to be "embarrassed" to be an American because of a president.

This lineup may just be a contender for third place in the All-Time Hit Parade Group Photos of Weird Mismatched Personalities.

Holding first place forever is the photo of the Bar Scene in "Star Wars". All other photos are judged by this standard.

Securely in second place is the Liza Minelli wedding photo starring her House of Wax former husband, Whatshisname, plus the unfortunate 3-D cut-outs of Michael Jackson and Liz Taylor.

I don't know what it says about me...but I've heard of them all except the Roth woman.

I don't know Roth, either. But as far as being entertaining, Bates and Baranski are hilarious in the right roles. Baranski was Cybill Shepherd's best friend in her TV show and she was the highlight of the show. Laugh out loud funny. Kathy Bates was terrific in "Misery".

In 1981, The Postman Always Rings Twice resurrected Lange's sagging career. As a young teen, I'll never forget the first time I viewed the kitchen table scene. To quote John Kerry: "It was seared into my mind."
