AT HOME ART DATE | Watch Recall Write
“To convey in any existing language how I miss you isn’t possible. It would be like blue trying to describe the ocean.”
― Mary-Louise Parker, Dear Mr. You
With an equal gift for wit and pathos, in 1990, Mary-Louise Parker made her Broadway debut in Craig Lucas' Prelude to a Kiss. In 2001, she won a Tony Award for her performance as Catherine Llewellyn in David Auburn's Proof. Her subsequent film roles include The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008), Red (2010), R.I.P.D. (2013), and Red 2 (2014). (2013) In 2018,
she featured as a political strategist on Showtime's Billions and had a lot of success as the sexy and eccentric lead in Weeds.
