Margo Martindale's magic of making anything she appears in better is no secret. People can't hear her name without blurting, "I love her!" In Mrs. America, FX on Hulu's limited series, Martindale (pictured at top) continues her streak. The nine episodes, devoted to an in-depth examination of the women behind the fight for and against the Equal Rights Amendment, brims with sublime performances. Cate Blanchett as Phyllis Schlafly, Uzo Adaba as Shirley Chisholm, and Tracey Ullman as Betty Friedan are among them. And as Bella Abzug, Martindale shines. No small part of it is how she nailed the voice of Battling Bella, the late New York congresswoman, who relentlessly fought for gay rights, civil rights, and against the Vietnam War.
