In addition to being a world class actor, Patty Clarkson continues to be an irrepressible goddess: witty, classy, sexy and politically active. Here she is in New Orleans working it through a beautifully written very pointed speech about gay marriage in case you haven't seen it yet. It's funny, true and a little bit angry, too. Just as it should be. [via]

Amen, Patty! It's always worth spending 15 minutes with you.
P.S. If you're just joining us here at the Film Experience, don't miss the month long "Streep at 60" retrospective. Can you believe she's 60 next week? *
