Happy 65th Birthday to Mare Winningham

One of my favourite actresses that I wish would appear just as much as the other big 3s (Jessica/Kathy/Angela, Sarah/Evan/Lily, Emma/Billie/Leslie). She could’ve easily made up the missing number 3 alongside Denis/Franny, right?

Retrospectively, who could she have played since her first appearance in Coven?

Roanoke: Real Thomasin White/The Butcher

Apocalypse: Madelyn (Satanist follower that helps Michael, instead played by Harriett Sansom Harris).

1984: Chef Bertie (instead played by Tara Karsian)

Double Feature: Martha Edwards (landlord/council member, instead played by Robin Weigert).

NYC: The “Something’s Coming” lady on the subway trains (but in a more expanded role).

Delicate: Virginia Harding (instead played by Debra Monk).

Just to be clear, I love all of the actresses above. But just speaking retrospectively lol.

As much as I hated Alicia in Coven, the actress was an instant sympathy. She knows what she does, very charismatic woman. And in Hotel her character was a jam to watch for sure

I love her sm in Hotel she is so funny

I feel like she doesn’t get enough credit for how amazing she is as an actor.

I think she's probably the most underrated (semi) staple actor by far.

Need her back in AHS 14 Whiteout set in an Alaskan ski lodge where she is the owner

I am going to get downvoted to hell but for years i thought she was the same actress that played Red on OItNB and Janeway on Voyager. I haven’t watched any seasons since Apocalypse but recently rewatched coven and realized how incorrect I was. Kate mulgrew and mare winningham are two separate entities.

She is legit.

She’s an amazing actress because honestly I didn’t even know she played Kyles mom and Miss Evers, I thought it was 2 actresses that looked a lot alike 😭

Absolutely hated her character in coven, which makes her a great actress!.

Last night I watched a movie from the 80s called “Miracle Mile” and was so excited to see her in one of the starring roles! I then found out she and her co-star Anthony Edwards both went on to marry other people, divorce those people, and eloped in 2021 - such a fun little story. Happy birthday, Mare!!

Great all round of course but the character in hotel is hilarious.

I thought she was so believable as Sally in Cult. Effortless and so intelligent. I love when she tells Kai he’s not a conservative- he’s a reactionary. She had some great lines.

65??!!! No way does she look anywhere near 65

this lady is cool as shit

she is so underrated

I hate her characters in coven and freak show but I didn’t mind her.. happy 65th birthday

I want her back on the show so bad. It’s weird because everyone seem to love her but she’s often overlooked as one of the heavy hitters of the show. I guess it’s probably because her roles were small except for her role in Hotel as Mrs Evers which was just as great a performance as anyone of the heavy hitters have done.

she’s so underrated i love her in Cult so fucking much

What? We were born in the same day?

Also, dealing with the government to sign up for social security is a pain. 

I love her as Miss. Evers

As much as I’ve loved her characters….. The role she played as Kyle’s mom in Coven 😮‍💨 That was fucking rough dude.

She dated Val Kilmer in high school; they were high school sweethearts
