      @@JaimeMesChiens Here's a composite (lousy quality video and audio) of some scenes from the "Cybill" TV show with Baranski. Even in these short clips, you can see her range. You can probably find some more examples/scenes if you knock around Google.
      Even though the show was supposed to be about Cybill, Cybill was actually one of the weakest characters in it. Baranski could take any line written for her character and make it the most compelling thing on the screen. czcams.com/video/ZSCkVvP-aKE/video.html

      One thing all the zooming and teleconferencing has revealed is that some people (like Ms. Baranski) are just naturally elegant, even after weeks at home without a hairdresser or even special lighting. The rest of us... need more work to look even halfway decent.
