66th Primetime Emmy Awards-

”I couldn’t believe our amazing storyline in the first season. If it wasn’t on the page, it wasn’t on the page.  But to dig into these characters now –it’s amazing that there’s still so much to say, and it’s hard to keep that momentum going in later seasons.” As far as making her foray as director on an episode, which her co-star Josh Charles did this past season, Margulies says she’s content as lead actress and producer. “I’ve been asked to co-direct, which might be interesting, however, I’m the rare actor who prefers to produce. I like putting the cast together and finding material. There’s too much going on (as an actor) if I had to direct. I wouldn’t have time in the editing room.  Maybe theater one day.”: Julianna

”I’m at my home in Connecticut, and took a swim this morning — I stayed away from the phone! Iit’s a great honor, but a little sad to not see [Good Wife creators] the Kings not get recognized. My feeling is that Josh, Julianna and I are recognized because of them. I’m given such great material, phenomenal material, really. If they pass you the ball, you run with it. If ever there was a year, I really thought it was this year. … The surprise of Will Gardner’s death was a gut-punch. It’s an extra tribute to the show that people can get so involved, even in its fifth year. It represents the best of what we can do as writers and performers. The acting is understated and subtle, which is our greatest strength, but people may not get how hard making 22 episodes a year truly is. But, as my agent says, ‘This is a time to be happy!’ And with everything going on in the world, getting dressed up and having your photo taken is better than a sharp stick in the eye!”; Christine

“Julianna can do so much without, you know, saying anything.I always tell her that I thought she would have been the most incredible silent film actress because sometimes those acting with her and then, you know, watching her direct just does so much with a look, with her eyes.” - Josh Charles

The beauty of television is the sense that, unlike any other medium, you develop relationships of such depth and length, more so than films or even theater. You see these crewmembers that work so hard and give so much and help contribute and collaborate to make the show what it is. You see them more than your own family. So the bonds are really deep. There are a lot of people on that show that I’m going to miss a great deal. - Josh Charles.

June 8th, 1966 - Happy Birthday Julianna Luisa Margulies

My first real memory of Julianna Margulies, aside from seeing her on TV, is of a big post theater night out in New York nearly 10 years ago. What I recall the most from that night is a warm, open, sparkly-eyed, earthy woman, her curly locks spilling around her face, who was laughing, laughing, laughing.

-Alan Cumming

I’m always shocked when actors have diva-esque behavior. It’s like, you’re really going to walk by the d.p. and not say “Hi”? These people are here to make you look good!
Happy Birthday, Julianna Margulies (June 8th, 1966)

florrickscully:

“The wonderful and talented  star of The Good Wife. Emmy winner, Golden Globe winner, SAG Award winner, the lead actress Julianna Margulies.”

It’s funny: When The Good Wife came to me, it came in such a backhanded compliment. “Ashley Judd was offered this script, but she’s turning it down. Now, I’m going to give it to you, but first, we’re going to Helen Hunt. And if Helen Hunt passes, it’s all yours.” I wanted to hate it, because you know, “Fuck you! You didn’t want me to begin with.” The writers always say: “No, we always wanted you. It’s just the studio wanted Helen Hunt!” But my agent said a great thing: “No one will know when they watch this show that Helen Hunt was offered it before you.“ - Julianna Margulies
