@pinkpearl1953 When The Incredibles came out, I thought the character was based on Linda Hunt. To have Hetty as a designer is perfect!

@newzac I know, I want to smack the lisp right off of Sally Draper's stupid moon face. Linda Hunt should replace her. No one would notice.

I get the feeling Linda Hunt is playing her Pret-a-Porter character in NCIS:LA. And I think Sam likes G's too-tight pants. #ncisla
