Here is a great example of self producing, but not producing all by your self: Judy Greer! I loved her in Thirteen Going on Thirty with Jennifer Garner, and in the past two TV shows she’s starred in. Now ABC had picked up American Judy for pilot season! Yea!
The Hollywood Reporter:
“If you see her face, it looks familiar. If you hear her voice, it rings a bell. But if you read her name, chances are it draws a blank.Such is the reality of life for the great character actress Judy Greer, who, since making her big-screen debut in 1998, has appeared in dozens of critical and/or commercial hits — among them What Women Want(2000), The Wedding Planner(2001), Adaptation (2002), 13 Going on 30 (2004), The Village (2004), 27 Dresses(2008), and, most recently, The Descendants -- consistenly stealing scenes from her A-list co-stars, but always ceding the spotlight back to them before the end credits…”
It’s about time! This woman is so talented and funny - I can’t wait to hear how it goes! I hope more actresses self produce and get this break this year. Today I lift my latte to you Judy Greer!
Cynopsis:
