Who else has a complete crush on Patty Hughes?


I can't get over it! I've been a fan of the show for about five years, and even after all these years, here I am – still in aw of Patty and the way Glenn Close embodies her!

I guess what it is is that early on, after watching the first three seasons, I bypassed season four and went straight season five – so coming back to season four again, it gives me that old feeling of freshness again, because I've never seen them! And it makes me fall in love with her all over again.

I know we're not supposed to necessarily like her, but I have to admit that I'm smitten. It's a combination of the character and the way Glenn plays her. I wouldn't want anyone else to be Patty Hughes – to me she is inseparable from Glenn Close. And I'm in love with her.

You may wonder, what is there to be in love with? Well, here are some of the things I love about her:

First off, I like the way she presents herself. I like her style, her hair, her clothes… Secondly, I like her lifestyle – the way she always lights candles during dinner, the way she likes to have classical music playing while she's savoring her meal, the way she seems to have an appreciation for aesthetic beauty. Third, I love her voice – the strong way in which she says things, the strength she projects through her sound, the tenderness and vulnerability she also evokes at times. Fourth, her overall presence – she has a maturity, sophistication, the cleverness that cannot be fully comprehended. Yes, in some ways, it is a dark intelligence, but in other ways, it is impressive and spellbinding. She is so complicated, so unabashedly flawed an individual, that it's easy to imagine her sympathizing with and comforting others; she herself is so despised in certain circles, that it's easy to imagine that she would never make the same mistake of despising people with quite the same malice. Her issues make her wise. She's very wise. And more caring than people realize as well. And fifth, I love her air of authority and competence (making her seems so trustworthy – even though she says "trust no one")! All of this combined makes her one hot lady!

Anyone else have a total crush on her?

I have such a crush on her, I wish I were Ellen Parsons, so that I could be Patty's favorite intern! To be her favorite would be a dream come true, making me feel so valued and special!

[The only thing I hate is that Patty didn't make a pass at Ellen Parsons at some point---or did she? ha ha]

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
