"She’s like a fifties movie star, so capable, so loving and energetic."
She's "very nearly perfect" and it was her birthday on the 19th November, so this is what I do.
If there are any last minute changes, they go to Allison, because she is the only one that can pull them off with ease and comfort. Her performance is always like it's happening for the first time. She's magnificent. I adore her - Martin Sheen (The President)
"Few people can combine glamour and goofiness as perfectly as she does. You can just picture Allison in some incredibly slinky dress being pushed off the diving board into the pool at 2 in the morning." - Bradley Whitford.
I can't get enough of her klutziness. How many actresses are as gifted in physical comedy and as sexy as she is? - Aaron Sorkin (Creator of The West Wing)
Allison is like a travelling party, where ever she is, the party is - Janel Moloney (Donna Moss)
Someone asked me, "What are your favourite moments?" My response was, "Any scene with Allison Janney." - Richard Schiff (Toby Ziegler)
Every director who comes here just lights up when they get to her scenes. They will do twenty takes even though she nailed it on the first, just because they want to see what she's going to do with the other nineteen. - Aaron Sorkin - (Creator of The West Wing)
Aaron called me one day and said there's a part of a reporter and maybe a possible love interest with Allison Janney. I hadn't read the script or read the scene, but I said, "I'm on a plane." - Timothy Busfield (Danny Concannon)
When we were casting American Beauty, Sam Mendes had no idea that I knew her. And he said 'I have this kind of weird idea for somebody to play this role. She's too young, but she's so amazing, she can do anything.' I said 'who?' He said 'Allison Janney' and I said 'OH MY GOD, I love her! Absolutely!' - Alan Ball (Writer of American Beauty)
Also, count the FOUR Emmy Awards baby!
