I'm surprised they didn't mention her recent time on Hannibal, as his therapist. It wasn't a big part, but certainly different for her. Great actress.

I got confused, I thought there was going to be a remake of the golden girls. That would be Devereaux, not DuBois! oops. I have never seen that play.
