meme: OLD HOLLYWOOD / DEBORAH KERR

"While all of that is going on, Laura is losing her entire fucking mind. It’s literally, actually, the scariest thing I think I’ve ever seen. The concept of Mary McDonnell yelling at me like that, even if she was acting, makes me want to first shit and then airlock myself. I mean to say that she trips the crazy fantastic. I don’t know what else to say. You have to see it to believe it. Mary McDonnell’s seriously the scariest person and the most scary-awesome actor on the face of the planet. Imagine if you will that you are four years old, and you have just driven the family car into the living room, killing Stephen Hawking and some orphans. And instead of just your mom yelling at you, terrified and enraged and hating herself, it’s also every mean teacher and mean librarian and police officer and meth addict that’s ever made you think you were about to get a black eye. Plus, like…Kali. And the Furies. And Sean Young."

Television Without Pity recap of “Taking a Break from All Your Worries”

Pretty much my exact reaction to that scene and the thought of Mary ever yelling at me like that.

    I love this. Mary McDonnell is badass. Also one of the nicest people on the planet. But I’d pee myself if she for real...

    I wasn’t so much as scared as I was turned on. Seriously. It was also the very first scene my little sister saw of Laura...
