Then He Slapped Her On The Back And Said, Hey, At Least You Were Working!

Quicker than you can ask, "Whatever happened to that woman who was in that movie where Tom Hanks dances on the giant piano?", a reader checks in with a tidbit from last night's premiere party for the new Showtime series Weeds:
Robert Greenblatt (head of Showtime), gave a speech to the audience before the show. He pointed out Elizabeth Perkins, a member of the cast, and cited a review of her performance, saying:"This is Elizabeth Perkins' best work since Big."
You could hear a pin drop in the audience as everyone contemplated what it was like to be pointed out for not having done a single thing worth bragging about in fifteen years.
Awkward! But don't be so hard on the guy, he obviously meant to highlight the quality of Perkins' work in Weeds, not embarrassingly overlook the 17 years and 35 IMDb entries that passed between his network's new show and Big. We're sure the fruitbasket he's sending with a note recognizing her noted turn as Wilma Flintstone will be more than enough to soothe any inadvertently bruised egos.
