Laura Linney
Laura Linney starred in the indie film gems, “You Can Count on Me,” and “The Savages,” but her first love is the theater. This weekend she wraps up her Broadway appearance as an injured war photographer in Donald Margulies’s “Time Stands Still.” In her conversation with Alec Baldwin, she reveals the joys and heartbreaks that come with being a full-time actor. Linney also talks about her upcoming role as a woman with cancer in the new Showtime series, “The Big C.”
