I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

Mary McDonnell
Actress Mary McDonnell. She is probably best known as President Laura Roslin from the cult re-imagination of Battlestar Galactica, but I remember first encountering her as Rose Darko in the film Donnie Darko (2001). I think the words of her on-screen husband Eddie Darko (Holmes Osborne) sum it up best: "You're not a bitch. You're bitchin', but you're not a bitch." Mary McDonnell brings integrity and grace to every character she plays. So say we all.
