This paragraph is a sea of blue, also seems like a misplaced filmography, This needs to be thinned out. I would gladly do it, but have no idea the most notable ones for her. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:10, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Should we change the picture?

Is this the best picture we could get of Janney? Her facial expression and posture are very strange. Had it not been labeled, I would not have been able to recognize her.

The original source of the picture is Flickr; the same Flickr user has several pictures of Janney that I think are better. —Mark Dominus (talk) 13:26, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree and found a better and more recent picture on commons and I changed it. WikiVirusC^(talk) 13:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

That is a much better picture! Thanks very much for your speedy and constructive response. —Mark Dominus (talk) 01:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

No problem, was easy fix with other pictures already uploaded. WikiVirusC^(talk) 12:33, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Allison is very gorgeous - both physically and emotionally. This is coming from an Ohio guy. 65.186.181.16 (talk) 06:40, 25 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Missing movie credit

I do not see any mention of Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), which she had a hilarious role in alongside Kisten Dunst and Ellen Barkin. It was the first time I'd ever seen Janney in anything, and it was so funny it remains one of my favorite performances of hers. Sorry if I missed it. ~2026-50306-77 (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
