Here is a great interview with Beth Grant at the A.V. Club where she speaks very candidly about accepting her lot as a character actor, the lessons she's learned from working with an amazing assortment of collaborators, and the necessity to play characters "real" and not "winking." I've been a fan of hers for a while, but it's great to read her just going on and on about her journey to where she is and how she's carved out a niche as the uptight self-righteous Southern woman. From roles in "Little Miss Sunshine" to "Donnie Darko" to "Rain Man," Beth Grant has definitely become a quintessential "Oh, yeah, that woman!" type of actor, even if not many people know her name.
