I've been watching her on Drop Dead Diva and think she is quite talentless, she's like wood. I'm currently watching Freddie and she appears on the pilot. Although she get 8-10 seconds of camera time, it is enough to see she's bad.
shareWell said!! Even if there is not a live audience, comedic timing has a specific rhythm and beat needs by the actors, hence the word timing. It's also about a give and take relationship with all the actors. She plays dumb and ditsy while still remaining venerable and likable, albeit not to everyone. Most actors and directors, who are worth their salt, will agree with me when I say that comedy's are more difficult. The fact that she can be so ditsy and yet still extremely believable and likable is a very difficult thing to do well! My daughter doesn't like her either, so I can see where she can be annoying to some, but as an actor and director myself, I can see all the talent that is there!' She makes a very difficult role seem effortless!
