Happy #MaryMonday fans and followers.
A little addition to the gallery for something we all enjoy at times to re-watch and laugh with them. Mary does really great in comedy too, she should be back to it sometimes. Enjoy promotional photos and some stills from High Society.

The series revolves around two New York City women who acted in an outrageous, campy, and decadent manner. Ellie Walker (Jean Smart) was a successful author of trashy romantic novels, and her best friend and publisher was Dorothy ‘Dott’ Emerson (Mary McDonnell). Emerson was a divorced mother with a preppie college-aged son, Brendan Emerson (Dan O’Donahue), a College Republican, who rejected the relentless sexual advances of Ellie, but who otherwise appeared to be heterosexual. In the pilot episode, the women’s small-town former college friend, Val Brumberg (Faith Prince), arrived and moved in with Dott. At the publishing house, the women worked with a flamboyant gay male secretary named Stephano (Luigi Amodeo) and a sleazy publisher partner named Peter Thomas (David Rasche).

15 years ago (precisely October 26) Donnie Darko premiered in the US.
Empire UK dediced to celebrate the event including a full excerpt in their December issue (cover star Eddie Redmayne for Fantastic Beasts). I grabbed a Digital copy and added HQ scans to the gallery. Take a look!

Welcome to Version #3 of The McDonnell Rule.
Every time I change layouts I think to a theme (kind like Major Crimes crew does for each season): first version was dedicated to Major Crimes, second version generically on Mary’s career, this third is like the second version but more specific.
What I wanted to give the viewers are two things:
– being captured by Mary’s incredible smile.
– a look into her career of almost 40 years.

Since the fansite is growing as days go by, and so is my passion for it (and Mary!), and the need of matching is for three different layouts I decided to keep steady on her smile image and change the background. So we have her stages year on the main site, Major Crimes/Battlestar Galactica as television projects on the gallery and her movies on the video archive.

The themes are all 100% mobile-friendly and each post has its own sharing options on sociables with just a click on the button (twitter, facebook, tumblr and pinterest. If there is any other social you use and may like to share my posts please let me know and I’ll check if the plugin has it, I’ll be happy to add! Every share makes the site grows bigger in google too.)

I will not conclude this post without the due thanks to Maria and Julia for always supporting with enthusiasm my decisions on this website and being real good advisers for what’s better to viewers, but the biggest of thanks must go to my dear good friend Frederik for I took the inspiration for this layout from his site and because he is always ready to help me figure that brilliant idea out of the chaos in my mind. Your support and friendship is everything to me, thank you Team C.!

Here it is, the new version all for you. I hope you like what I did with it, the thought and the realization and now let’s spread the Mary love, happy #MaryMonday.

I got my hands on a copy of SFX magazine from 2006 and got it scanned.
Take a look at the BTS article and interviews with the characters.

Happy #MaryMonday people, I’ve quickly updated the Dances With Wolves category with some behinds and stills of Mary as Stands With A Fist. Take a look!

I went through a little dive into the archive and found a bunch of photos from events to add to the gallery. Various years have been updated so be sure to check them all!

And we are to the conclusion of Summer Finale with last episode. Next 8 episodes will air sometime next year, no date yet has been decided. Stay tuned for news. Enjoy the HD screencaptures and I warn you to get ready for big twists if you haven’t seen the episode yet.
