Lee Garlington has been steadily working in Hollywood since the '80s. "I haven't had to say, 'Would you like fries or Caesar salad with that?' since 1984," she said. But, the actress added, she hasn't peaked yet.
"I plan to peak in my 70s," Garlington told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. "I have another decade to go before I'm going to really hit my stride. I'm going to be Doris Roberts, knocking 'em dead on my big hit show."
A serial guest star and regular film supporting player, Garlington is perhaps best known for having one the biggest show business "tragedies": She was the original female star in the "Seinfeld" pilot. Garlington's regular TV appearances and supporting roles in films like "Field of Dreams" and "Cobra" made her a perfect subject for HuffPost's "Isn't That ... ?," a new feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects,...

Hell Hath No Fury like a Hamptonite Scorn! Or at least that’s what the likes of Madeline Stowe, Henry Czerny and Josh Bowman are about to find out when Emily VanCamp returns to the small screen in ABC’s highly addictive mystery thriller Revenge. But just how terrified should these actors be of VanCamp’s beautiful and duplicitous Emily Thorne, who returns to the Hamptons to exact — as the title suggests — revenge on the wealthy community that destroyed her family years ago? We caught up with the actors to find out just that. See for yourself after the jump.
Emily VanCamp
Maybe you could talk about your character and the deception in Revenge, and compare it to your role on Brothers & Sisters?
Emily: That’s interesting, but I don’t think there was much revenge in Brothers & Sisters. I suppose there’s always a bit of that in families,...
