Revered and Ruthless

I was reading somewhere an article about some girls, I can’t even remember who or where, and they were all being asked about their favourite TV character. I started thinking about who my favourite TV character is, and of course there is no question, it is Patti Hewes, played by Glenn Close in the TV series Damages.

I have only seen the first series, and I plan on watching the second series over Christmas, but it was clear from the beginning that she is definitely my idol. Here’s a blurb from the website: “The series follows the turbulent lives of Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), the nation’s most revered and reviled high-stakes litigator and her bright, ambitious young protégé Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne).”

I know she isn’t very nice, but I love her. She doesn’t take any bullshit, she is smart, in control, a bit manipulative, and always gets what she wants. “Patty Hewes is the undisputed champion in the ruthless, back-stabbing world of high-stakes litigation.” Her outfits are perfect for her role, crisp shirts, beautifully tailored suits, polished but not overdone.

When I am in my 50s I want to be exactly like her (except for the murderess qualities, of course.)

By the way, there may be a small slowdown of posts over Christmas, I am trying to take some time off. But I’ll definitely be posting at least 2 or 3 times a week.
