Julianne Nicholson, actress

I first noticed Julianne Nicholson in the movie Flannel Pajamas (2006), in which she played the woman in a nasty, but disappointing (you were rooting for them)  break up from her partner.  She was extraordinary.  I've seen her here and there since then, but now in 2017, she has 2 (semi major) roles in Novitiate, in which she is the loving, but angry and vulgar mother of a daughter who has decided to become a nun.  It's a challenging role that she plays to a T.  She also solidly plays the coach in I, Tonya. Furthermore, she is the recipient this season of the rarely given samoblog award, Best Freckles.
