Jane Lynch talks about being butch and hating brasMichael Musto says it best in his Village Voice interview with Jane Lynch: she's everywhere — and it's a good thing, too. I mean, we can't keep watching her as Joyce Wischnia on our L Word DVDs forever, no matter how great the scene where she proposes to Phyllis in the nude truly is.)
Lynch first popped up on our radar playing the hilarious butch dog handler Christy Cummings in Best in Show, a role that obviously wasn't much of a stretch for her.
It's because she does it so well, and says she's "very attracted to feminine women." When asked if she's always been out, Lynch says: From 20 on, I was an active lesbian, but I didn't tell my family till I was 31. We'd still rather not talk about it. I'm glad it's off the table. I don't bring it up very much. Just the bare necessities: "I'm coming in on this flight, and we'll go to the mall."
While she can currently be seen as Sue Sylvester, the merciless, media-happy cheerleading coach on Glee, Lynch reminisces about her roles in other Christopher Guest films in addition to Best in Show. Her favorite role, she tells Musto, was the porn star-turned-folk singer Laurie Bohner in A Mighty Wind.
Lynch: She's sexually confident and oblivious to what others might think of her. She has no shame and really loves her feminine, sexy body. I found it in me. I had to dig something up. But I couldn't wait to wash my hair out and take off the curls and tight pants and push-up bra at the end of the day.
It seems that Lynch's personality isn't all that different from most of her characters. While she's played gay plenty of times (it was sort of hard to buy her as Julie Child's newly-married sister in Julie & Julia, wasn't it?), it's her sense of humor and candidness that is always consistent. Her involvement in any show is basically enough to get me to watch (smart move, Fox). How about you? Submitted by on October 30, 2009 - 11:00am. |

That last picture I've never seen- so cute.
Jane Lynch is just about as sexy and cool as it gets in my book.
I LOVE CHRISTOPHER GUEST MOVIES.
Best in Show may be one of my favorites but she cracked me the hell up in A Mighty Wind. Wonderful interview! and that was a supercute pic too.

yeah
dear jane lynch
I. Love. Jane. Lynch.
Jane Lynch is my ultimate idol. Seriously she is a god.There is a hierarchy of important people with my friends and I, and Jane Lynch is at the top. In other news: Ilene Chaiken is at the bottom. The very bottom.

Totally agree! Lynch on top, Chaiken on bottom . . .

Lynch on top
See, that just gives me images I don't want to think about. Maybe if Ilene's wearing a paper bag...
yeah, Lynch on top.... indeed.
Haha, I love her.
Just had an idea.....
I can see Jane and Cherry Jones in a buddy type comedy....would love to see those two onscreen together.
My favorite Jane part was in Best In Show, but I loved her lawyer part on Boston Legal. I just get ready to laugh when I see her face...she's a natural. I bet she would play a great psycho as well....the best comics do. Robin Williams has done it several times now quite convincingly.
love her outfit in the last
Adore her.
She's just so damn great. And one of the things I admire so much is her breezy attitude toward being out - she's so candid and pleasant and open. Hurrah for her!
Plus she's not hard to look at. ;)
Oh, Jane
I love Jane Lynch! I will watch any show she's in. She doesn't even need to say anything on screen and I will still end up laughing.
Sue Sylvester is the best character ever.
Underrated talent
Hey!
I'm a feminine looking woman!
Ok, that was tacky but -- seriously, she is the bomb.
Jane Addiction
Jane Lynch is fabulous and I have THE biggest crush on her. The lady's crazy talented and so sexy! I'm just so thrilled for her (and for the world at large) that she's finally getting the luuuurvv and recognition she deserves.
Lynch pin
Love. Her. Glad she is so ubiquitous - she was underrated for so long (in some camps).
Never noticed how much Lych as Christy Cummings looks like Michael Cera. Could be his mom!
She's everywhere...
I was definitely surprised when she starting showing up on Criminal Minds. Despite playing the schizophrenic (I think..?) & hospitalized mother of one of the main characters, she always manages to liven up the episode. :)
C
I'M THERE!
She a natural ability to steal the scene!! And I can't get enough of her on Glee! Anything, any role, any show, if Jane Lynch is on it, I'M THERE! It cant just be her lines and the show's content its her delivery, she passionate with every word, confident at every turn and doing her own thing no matter what anyone says, I absolutely love and support Jane in all she does! Oh and about her being butch, well as I said before....she does it all oh so well!! :)
SdQ Out!
Lynch!
OMG shes one of my favorite actresses ever, shes funny,quirky and a good example to follow as mama butch :P hahaha, she rawcks and looks absolutely stunning despite her age. Hot lesbian much? ;).

Through our ceremonies and rituals we have witnessed the awesome and vibratory power... of color."

oh man. she's so 'effin awesome.
Love her
I love Jane Lynch... She's sooo cooool..
Well either that or it's just the butch bias in me...

What is not to love?
Love Jane Lynch in anything, especially "Glee". So glad she is finally getting the opportunity to shine and show her stuff. Here's hoping she gets more meaty roles in the future. Go Jane!!!
She is truly a jem!
