WOW!! I love Gillian Anderson!!! 4ever!

great idea!! XXD

[RocyMartinez]

Lindsay Wagner, Gillian Anderson and Mariska Hargitay are the best!!!

Gillian is the youngest actress to win this award?? Because Lindsay Wagner have 28 years old in 1977 and Gillian have 29 in 1997.

i had forgotten that patricia wettig won TWO emmys for her role as nancy on thirtysomething. she was wonderful! also, sada thompson was brilliant as tough matriarch kate on family. that was truly one of the best shows of the 70s!

gosh i miss good television!

[mlc2005]

Allison Janney all the WAY!!! The greatest female role of them all, played to perfection!!!!!

Barbara Stanwyck rocked!

Linsay deserved to win that year. The first year of Bionic Woman was FAB. Sada Thompson deserved to win...like Michael Learned, she is another underrated actress. She was phenomenal as Kate Lawrence in Family.

Babara Bel Geddes was the ONLY one on Dallas to win an Emmy (of those fortunate to be nominated)  She won for the awesome two part episode "Mastectomy". I always felt that Linda Gray was cheated out of the Emmy for the eps dealing with her hitting rock bottom with her alcoholism.

@thumper6988 I agree about karen Grassle...but she was always up against powerhouse Michael Learned and then the one year Michael won, Angie Dickinson was also a nominee...sometimes there's just stiff competition. I remember in the 80s I used to get mad when Tyne or Sharon ALWAYS won because there were just SO MANY great shows on with great stars who also deserved to win.

@lonefairy I doubt it. Lindsay Wagner was also 28 at the time she won hers.

It's a shame and travesty that Melissa Leo and Angela Lansbury aren't in this mix. The Emmys are pathetic sometimes.
