Observant fans of A League of Their Own will remember the heartbreaking scene featuring one of the many Cusacks, Ann, as Shirley Baker, the woman who couldn’t read. As Shirley struggled to find her name on the roster, a young Anne Ramsay jogged over asking if Shirley needed help. Anne, as Helen Haley, then scanned every piece of paper until she found Shirley’s name. “This is you,” she said, “you’re with us. You’re a Rockford Peach.” If that scene didn’t make you cry, then nothing will.
Most recently, you may have caught Anne in Bombshell, the movie about the women of Fox News who banded together to take down CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment. This movie was a masterclass in makeup, from Charlize Theron becoming Megyn Kelly to Nicole Kidman transforming into Gretchen Carlson.
Anne Ramsay was also no exception, beautifully portraying former lawyer and Fox News commentator Greta Van Susteren. Anne admitted that she is “not the best at impersonations.” In an interview with Palm Springs Life, Anne said “That’s not my forte. But [Bombshell director] Jay Roach told me, ‘We don’t want an impersonation. We just want a hint. We’re not looking for an exact Greta Van Susteren.'”
