ReplyDeleteDid you know Molly was in a car crash at age 4 that killed her 34 year old mother, her 3 year old sister, and a 25 year old cousin? That's why she plays characters who are always at their emotional breaking points, because she always looks like she's going to laugh or cry, but you can never tell which one!
