Mary McDonnell Picture Page

Although probably most widely known for her portrayal of "Stands With a Fist" opposite Kevin Costner in "Dances with Wolves", she has a remarkable range which has earned her critical acclaim on stage and screen. She has also flirted with TV-comedy and more recently narration.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of her roles. Some of the pics link to larger versions.
