| JUST on Broadway two years ago!? TWO YEARS AGO??? Uh-huh. I am not up on Amazon TV shows, so thank you for sharing that. Glad to know she's busy doing something! |

| I think we're partly seeing the effects of how our media landscape has splintered into autonomous fiefdoms that require a higher level of user-driven awareness. I hadn't heard of "Goliath" until I was given Amazon Prime by a family member, so it was also a delightful surprise to me to discover that she's on the show - and is Brilliant on it. At the same time, it's odd that I was surprised, considering how popular the show has been on their platform. While the show was one of the most-watched when it came out, it wasn't the most buzzwed-about, and Amazon hasn't promoted it at the same level as "Transparent" or "Man in the High Castle". That's odd, considering the pedigree of the show: it's created by David E. Kelly and stars Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt, with Arianda a very prominent second lead. When we look at how Arianda made her name, we see that her skills are a bit old fashioned. She's very good at being in screwball comedy, which are rare these days, and she does best when she has an equally strong partner, who are hard to find. So she hasn't reached the heights of stardom that some might have expected, but then, so few people ever do. If her career is to be considered disappointing, that's only in simplistic, egocentric, unrealistic expectations of how stardom, media, and Hollywood works, rather than real-world achievements. |

| I guess two years is a really long time if your purview doesn't extend past 42nd Street (nm) | |

| I don't understand your snark, or the need for it. I think it's a reasonable thread. In fact, it made me realize that I hadn't heard anything about the actress in a long time, either. Yes, my "purview" is NY theater, and I don't read Variety or keep up with TMZ, so I appreciate hearing that Nina is working profitably in film and tv, and not unemployed. | |

| A quick IMDb search can bring up a list of Arianda's film and television credits. She's been pretty active in both mediums over the last few years, while still doing a fair amount of theater. Very few performers today are able to sustain their career exclusively through theater, as I imagine most people who read this board know. Even so, Arianda has returned time and again to the stage over the course of her relatively short professional career. When I think of a "Whatever Happened To..." thread, I expect to see a name I haven't heard in twenty years, not someone who was just on Broadway two years ago and has done a half-dozen movies and TV shows in the last year alone. | |

| Now how exactly would I be IMDB'ing someone who was out of my consciousness? While I appreciate that your expectations for the thread were not met, I'm baffled by your willful refusal to accept that someone else thought it was a good question. Feel free to fire back at me, but I'm done. | |

| Perhaps the IMDB suggestion was more for the person who was wondering whatever happened to her. | |
