Christine Baranski

I know.

But, you know, now because of YouTube and because everything's available to everyone all the time, I'm intergenerational.

I have young, young girls who are obsessed with Tanya in Mamma Mia.

I have a gay following from the time I did Sybil.

There are people who, like you, will reference the real thing or will reference...

earlier theater work that they've seen me in the Manhattan Theater Club.

I never know what people are going to bring up.

If I went to Beijing, China, and I put my hair in hair clips, I would be recognized for the Big Bang Theory, which I didn't even have a recur... I had a recurring role, but I was rarely on it.

I could count maybe 12...

12 times I was on that show because I was Leonard's mother.

I was the leading man's mother.

And she was such a unique character that the Big Bang Theory takes me around the globe as well.

What would you like to be recognized for?

I haven't cashed in on the slutty thing yet, though.

I haven't cashed in on that.

Well, you know, I'm very lucky because Matthew passed away and I was back at work a few months later.

On The Good Wife, and that was my family.

Juliana was there.

The crew was there.

I was close friends with the producer.
