  • The rare kind of actor who's great even when the material isn't. That's a skill not many have. She's always a joy to watch.
  • Fell in love with her in The Birdcage. She is one of those “I’ll watch anything she is in” actors.
  • When Ms. Baranski speaks of notifying her mother she was accepted to Julliard, she closes her eyes for several moments, apparently visualizing that wonderful moment in their relationship. Beautiful!

    To me, this woman is the incarnation of charisma and elegance! She is not only an extraordinary actress, she is also an amazing person! Long live this incredible lady!!!❤💖❤
  • @msmiller57
    My Lord, what an amazingly humble and grounded star. I can't believe she's 70, so beautiful and youthful. I can believe how proud she is of being 70, she's earned every minute of it in the best way.
  • @dianaswan7655

    Christine remains a class act! Beautiful, elegant, humble, and talented. Wishing her continued success.
  • @Nabhan82
    Such a class act and so well spoken. Loved how it ended with her saying she had a lot of answered prayers in her life.
  • @variousJnames
    This woman is CLASS, redefined! I've loved her in everything I've ever seen her in (and there's no way she's 70!! She looks fantastic and beautiful)
  • @natebeach
    I wish this was two hours; I could listen to her stories all day. What a wonderful, warm, amazing lady. ♥️
  • @tigergreg8
    I've always liked this woman, and her work, but I never realized how incredible she really is.
  • Beautiful, talented, and in general a nice person. Very satisfying watching her talk.

    Christine continues to dazzle Hollywood with her bright spirits and her elegant beauty. Even around the Holidays, she is the lovely Martha May Whovier.
  • @olenkasalas9467
    this interview is so rich, Christine still has that same spirit that she had when she was a student, this is her year, I can't love her more ❤️
  • @WaterLikeMisery
    she's a gem and deserves everything good that has ever come her way.
  • @radfarraday
    She is amazing. I am so sorry her husband has passed.
  • I grew up in Buffalo, and I am Polish. I can relate to so much of her background. She is a great actress!
  • @annsmith7207
    What a terrific interview! Christine has a very full life without having to shout it from the rooftops with "Look at me...me....me...me". The take-away: Be very clear about what you want ✨🌞✨
