Today's Blind Items - Kindness

This actress has never been in a blind before. If you are going to be in one, then a Kindness is the way to go and this one is really over the top. The actress is someone you might not be able to put a face with, but she is seemingly a regular on twenty shows. OK, the number is probably closer to three, but to be a regular on that many shows means she works a ton. The shows run the gamut from cable to network and she even has managed to squeeze in a few movies too. Great actress. Some of her family members have served and currently serve in the military and our actress has personally met more troops than most celebrities combined. She has let service members and their families stay in her home when they don't have enough money to stay in a hotel during brief reunions. She has babysat kids of service members so their parents can have time alone. She donates a great portion of her paychecks to various causes related to wounded veterans and returning veterans and family members who have to stay behind. She has helped raise well over a million dollars for these causes and she is beloved by every military family she meets. I have had three separate families from completely different parts of the country tell me they have met her and they couldn't believe she was at their base or helping out and they all love her.

  7. Alison Brie or Bianca Lawson?

    ReplyDelete
  8. That is wonderful!

  9. Margo Martindale?

  10. Mullally is a good guess - she has a name but pops up in all sorts of surprise roles. Here is an announcement for a performance Megan did at a military base:

    As for a face....I think if you say Karen Walkeror Tammy Swanson you can picture her...

      And the crossover shows of Bob's burgers/parks and recs and trophy wife

  12. Ann Dowd is on Masters of Sex AND The Leftovers right now...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Margo Martindale? She is/was in The Millers and The Americans at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I would love if this was #24 (Anne Dudeck), but there's no listing of her family as military. Her dad was an architect.

    She's been in freaking everything. House (of course), Charmed, ER, Bones, L&O, Six Feet Under, Desperate Housewives, Big Love, many others.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Fugazi Enty, in the future, when giving hints/descriptions of starlets, could you use "This (insert letter here)List Fappening victim....." It would be helpful and really hot.

    TY

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sarah Chalke, I've been waiting for you.
    (She'd get my user name.)

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Seven of Eleven, but the blind says "some of her family members", could be uncles, nephews and nieces, cousins. I wish Enty would reveal this one.

    ReplyDelete
  18. What about Anna Camp....True Blood, Pitch Perfect, etc...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Marcia Gay Harden. Perhaps.

    ReplyDelete
  20. My first guess was Judy Greer, thinking she may have mentioned family in the military in an interview?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Bravo to whoever this is. Bless her for her unending and extremely generous support.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The wonderful Margo Martindale

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Mal---definitely not Taryn---it seems like every other blind is about her. "This selfish cracker from an almost tv show..." ***cracker was meant to be crackhead but typo stays***

    ReplyDelete
  24. This needs to be revealed.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Megan has done a ton for the military according to google.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Kathryn Hahn and Judy Greer are everywhere. So is Megan but I suspect she has been in a blind before. There is a new Cookie Monster sketch and her husband has a brief part at the end and his wife calls out from off screen. It was Megan.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Derek- Oh no- she's a crackhead?? Couldn't she be a really generous crackhead???

    ReplyDelete
  28. Don't know but she's fab. Good Karma.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Mal---don't think there is such a thing ; )

    ReplyDelete
  30. Allison Janney. Seems like the only one who can actually afford to do it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm just an optimist. The crackhead is always halfway full.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The first one I thought of was Allison Janney also. She is on everything and everyone loves her.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Alison Brie is my guess.

    Whoever she is - YOU ROCK!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Brie has already been in a military-related kindness before, so it isn't her.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I thought of Brie too, she's everywhere. Enty might have forgotten he's done a blind about her before.

    ReplyDelete
  36. oh, shoot, i can't think of her name right now; but, she was Andrea on the walking dead. maybe her. allison janney is a great guess too.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Judy Greer was my first thought too.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm going to throw out Pamela Adlon! She's on (and has been on) quite a few shows (Californication, Louie, King of the Hill) and for what it's worth, I kind of have a girl crush on her, so I'm totally hoping it is her!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I checked ..Judy Greer doesn't have any military related support affiliations..
    Sticking with my guess of the wonderful Megan Mullally and her numerous contributions and military site performances and donations....so whether she is reveal or not..i salut her:)

    ReplyDelete
  40. @Myself- that's who I think, too! Rachel Brosnahan!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Another vote for Judy Greer. Whoever she is, she's wonderful. Looking forward to this reveal.

    ReplyDelete
  42. This blind sounds so similar to the one about Kellie Pickler. Anyway, this lady is a gem, whoever it is.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Natalie Zea

    TV shows: Dirty Sexy Money, Hung, The Defenders, The Following, Under The Dome, Justified, Californication

    ReplyDelete
  44. Please reveal this ASAP.

    ReplyDelete

    Megan mullaly..yet another military organization she supported.

    It's revealed.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Was 9 hours ago actually

    ReplyDelete
  47. Tricia's tenacity wins again!

    ReplyDelete
  48. But who doesn't know Megan's name? Really? She's well known.

    1. I'm with you, Reno. CDAN readers would know Megan Mullaly. I can believe she fits, but if this blind is about her it's mistaken.

      Delete
  49. Please reveal this so I can become a fan of everything she does from that point forward.

    ReplyDelete
  50. How about Carrie Preston. She's been on True Blood, The Good Wife and makes cameos on A Person of Interest. Seems like I see her everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Most people would know Mullaly as "Karen" or "Tammy" if they know her at all (neither Will & Grace nor P&R are the type of series most of the unwashed hordes would watch). I thin she fits this blind. And brava to her. Now I know why Offerman worships her.
