Me neither--and I say that as someone who did enjoy "Uncommon Women" and "The Sisters Rosenzweig." And I was not greatly impressed with Moss in "Speed-the-Plow" (granted, it's a pretty thankless role in a lot of ways)--for me, she didn't project (not in the sense of too little volume, but too little sending forth of character into the imagined world of the play). I find her voice rather monotone in quality--I can't imagine anchoring that play around so mousy an actress. She's fine as Peggy on the small screen, and her style fits that character's passive-aggressive funk, but Heidi needs to have more of something--Joan Allen was at least an actress equal to the role.
