The Reliable Character
Mary Steenburgen is something of a reliable character actress that often finds herself being introduced to a wide range of incredible films, from silly comedies like Elf alongside Will Ferrell to intense dramas like What’s Eating Gilbert Grape alongside Johnny Depp. You probably remember her best from her role as the long-suffering mother to Ferrell in the 2008 comedy icon, Step Brothers. Mary continues to shine in plenty of modern films.
A Versatile Career
Mary, like Danson, has ensured that her acting career is as dynamic and versatile as possible. She spent the early 2010s starring in the comedy-drama series Wilfred by FX. Her other notable small screen appearances include The Last Man on Earth and 30 Rock. Along with her partner Ted, she has become an absolute legend within the American media in general. Amazingly, she went a step further than Ted by appearing in musicals too!
