Finally, here's Linda Lavin as Rose in Gypsy. I know that she was generally panned by both fans and critics alike when she took over the role from Tyne Daly but honestly, I can't figure out the reason why (other than the fact that like Lansbury, she completely broke the Merman mold and played it differently). She's a great actress and I love her portrayal of this multi-dimensional character. Enjoy!

Two great actresses square off in a debate about family, fairness and choices. Linda Lavin is the mentor and Samantha Mathis is the student in this two person stage play adapted for the small screen. The crux of the plot happens when Lavin confides in Mathis a story about a previous lover and the affair that they began in the 1950s. Mathis takes the tale and makes it her own, writing her first novel based on it. The question of trusting someone as a family member and what is fair game to tell as "your story" serves as the heart of the film. Two brilliant and convincing performances are turned in by the two actors and there are both some riveting and humorous moments between them.
