This is just the latest in a string of unforgettable roles for the veteran character actress who has been performing since 1974, picking up an Emmy, two Tony awards and three Screen Actors Guild Awards along the way, as well as being inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2018.
Baranski, 70, shows no signs of slowing down, savoring the scene-stealing roles she excels at, including her much-loved performances in the two Mamma Mia films, which have made her an unwitting TikTok sensation, where videos of her characters have garnered more than 32 million views.
