Quotes about Connie

Many people know Esten from his improvisational comedy work on the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyways," and that experience has also helped him develop Claybourne's character. "I learned early it took a while to recognize that I could be very free with my improv, but with acting when you see a line, out of fear you lay some primrose path where the scene will go and how I would say a line," Esten said. "That's actually the opposite of what you should do. You need to be just as free and improvisational with your written lines as you are without them."

Connie Britton, who plays aging singer Rayna Jaymes on "Nashville," does that, he said. "She's great with not ever letting you predetermine how a scene will go or what a line will mean," Esten said. "When Connie responds to my first line, if I'm really listening to her, my second line will be delivered totally different than what I maybe might have planned, and so on. That's the thrilling way to do a scene.X

“It’s surreal. Sometimes we’re sitting having a meal and I think holy **** how did this happen,” said Bush. “She’s able to do so many things to challenge people without making people feel criticized. She’s the dream.” ~Sophia Bush X

JJJ: Very important question: Is Connie Britton as amazing in person as she is on TV?

Aubrey Peeples: Yes! I feel like she is superwoman. I’m surprised she doesn’t walk around in a cape at all times. She is so chill and so powerful at the same time. Of course I look up to her in so many ways both as an actress and as a person – she is very strong and independent and I think should be a role model for women everywhere.X

Connie's in Austin for her birthday (and I would guess also SXSW).. some pics from instagram

As hard as it is losing Rayna and no longer having her on the show, Connie looks really really happy lately. Her face in those pictures Jessie and Liz posted are like joy personified. And, as fans, isn't that what we really want for her in the end?

Arrakis

Nice pics. Why Austin? Just wondering.

True. I think we would see that also in some other actor's faces, if they found something better than Nashville. Esp those left behind by the producers.

She lived there when filming FNL. Last we heard she still has her house there and still has a bunch of friends there. Couldn't tell you why she decided to have her birthday there over somewhere else though

Not sure how long she's staying but SXSW starts this week and she's exec producer on a friend's short film that's premiering there

Arrakis

Thx for the info.

And happy birthday Connie!

S E R I O U S L Y. Can she teach us her ways of aging in reverse? Unfair.

Am I the only one who looked at the Donations list on her Crowdrise page? Made my heart happy to see Lauren Graham and T. Kitsch and Dierks Bentley's wife donate so generously on her behalf-- and Nicole Kidman's message was so adorable! Since they donated a few days ago, I'm guessing she sent a link to her friends first before opening it up to the public?

Ah, I missed them! I was so hoping we'd get a Coach and Tami reunion at her 50th birthday bash in Austin. Still holding out hope that Kyle was there and a picture will turn up eventually.
