He’s keen on her

THANKS to The Times and to Mary McNamara for the terrific article on my all-time fave-rave actress, Catherine Keener [“She’s No Movie Star,” Dec. 6]. To see her as a sexy, funny and emotionally honest grandmother in “The 40 Year-Old Virgin” and the very next week as a strait-laced Harper Lee in “Capote” is to understand why she is the best American actress currently working in films.
