My obsession with ‘The Gilded Age‘ rages on with this Dazzler of the Day, which finally features the magnificent Christine Baranski – a true dazzler and Broadway baby with the rare trait of having absolutely stolen every single scene she’s ever appeared in, from the side-kick-who-should-have-had-her-own-series in ‘Cybill’ to her luscious turn as a no-nonsense doyenne in HBO’s ‘The Gilded Age’. And her talent to so gorgeously devour scenery is not from lackluster company – she’s provided luminescent turns while appearing opposite Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in ‘The Birdcage’ to harmonizing with Meryl Streep and Julie Walters in ‘Mamma Mia’. Her scenes with Cynthia Nixon in ‘The Gilded Age’ crackle with the nerve and verve of an actress at the top of her game.
