She was also not very impressive on an episode of "The Good Wife" a few seasons back. I think she is meant for the stage, where I do not find her chilly at all. (She was quite good in the televised versions of both "A Raisin In The Sun" and "The Sound of Music".) I like her very much, but you are not alone. I have two friends who can not stand her. Won't see her in anything anymore. I tried to talk them into seeing "Porgy and Bess" and they looked at me as though I were crazy. I don't fall all over her the way many people do, but I don't do that with anybody.

I will admit, as someone who has been a dedicated fan of hers for almost 20 years, that I found her exceedingly chilly on Private Practice. But I chalk that up to the role, mostly. But I adore her, unreservedly. If other people don't, that's fine, even if I can't understand why.
