A double Emmy nominee, Medford's Julianne Nicholson talks 'Hacks,' 'Paradise,' and Massachusetts roots
"The Medford native won Best Comedy Guest Actress for her role as the Hollywood-newbie/ total train-wreck Dance Mom on HBO Max's "Hacks." Nicholson won her first Emmy for " Mare of Easttown " in '21 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series. But what's remarkable about this win: we don't often (or ever) see Nicholson in such a slapstick/physical comedy role."
"Then to spin 180 degrees to portray a complex villain like Sinatra on Hulu's brilliant Emmy-nominated "Paradise" in the same TV season feels like a high-water mark in a career that's been a wave slowly cresting for years. The Arlington Catholic High School alum was also nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work in that series; Katherine LaNasa of "The Pitt" won the category."
