Biography
While some may not recognize Margo Martindale's name, many recognize her face. An actress onscreen from the early '90s, Martindale's list of memorable roles is long, and the character actress found a strong niche playing mothers (
Million Dollar Baby) grandmothers (Hannah Montana: The Movie), and generally maternal figures (
Practical Magic). Martindale even parodied her own typecasting, playing the mother of the title character in the biopic spoof Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
