This would work better if I could post a picture of her. Mae Whitman is an actress, and I just love her face, here it is. I haven't even really kept up with her work, although I've been meaning to watch Good Girls for a long time. I first discovered her on Arrested Development, when she was a child, and she played George Michael's boring/conservative girlfriend Ann. And I don't know if it's just because the show seemed to want us to root against her and for Maeby instead, but I just loved everything she said and did pretty much. Being an 'unlikeable' character made her a more interesting character in my opinion, and I loved her unapologetic Christianity and then swinging to incredibly repressed sexual tension. I don't know if that really says much about Mae Whitman as an actress, but her playing Ann as so unself-aware mader her stand out, in my opinion. All I wanted was for Maeby and Ann to run off and start a detective agency together, because Maeby was clever and Ann believed in TRUTH, and George Michael was wet. Her character didn't really go anywhere, to be fair. But then she played Roxy Richter in Scott Pilgrim, and I didn't love everything they did in that film, but I did love that she was angry about Ramona being all weird and undermining of their same-sex relationship, and that she was bi-furious. And then apparently she was an Avatar, and everyone loved her even though they couldn't see her face. So yes. I'm very fond of Mae Whitman.
