Marjie is a versatile and grounded actor, dancer, and singer with strong physicality and command of language. Equally serious and playful, she's a shoe-in for the "good girl" turned pulls-no-punches powerhouse roles. Think Laura Linney meets Amy Adams, with a bit of Alison Pill to top it off. Particularly good look and sound for period pieces, political dramas, and heart-on-sleeve family affairs.
