Margaret Colin

"As star of TV series, Legwork (1987), created by Frank Abatemarco, Margaret Colin made a good impression as streetwise private investigator Claire McCarron. She tended to avoid shootouts but carried a gun anyway, just in case, and was not afraid to use it on the bad-guys. Frances McDormand played Claire's lawyer best friend, Willie Pipal."

"High schooler Meg, Agnes Bruckner, has good reasons to be angry. They start with her father, who long ago abandoned the family, driving off in his blue car as she watched, traumatized, from her bedroom window. And they persist in her difficult relationship with her mom, Diane, Margaret Coli), whose dullsville low-paying office job has her scrambling to please a boss who's as exploitative and insensitive as he might be and still make it in the front door for a dinner date."
