Tina Fey Is a Marriage Realist
Tara Fey’s acting career beyond SNL has often revolved around portraying or developing characters similar to Liz Lemon from 30 Rock, the sensible one amidst chaos. In Mean Girls, she served as the rational voice in the absurd world of high school cliques. In Baby Mama, she played the level-headed, rule-abiding mother-to-be, contrasted with Amy Poehler’s uncontrollable surrogate. And in The Four Seasons, she challenges traditional ideas about long-term relationships, trying to dispel her friends’ romantic ideals about lasting unions.
