- Her Boston accent in Gone Baby Gone (2007) was so convincing that Ben Affleck, a Boston native, asked what part of the city she was from, and a security guard once initially refused to let her on set as he believed that she was a local fan.
- Director Sidney Lumet was so impressed with her ability that he cast her in three different roles -- Ellen, Paris and Rebecca -- in his television series 100 Centre Street (2001).
- Was nominated for Broadway's 2005 Tony Award as Best Actress (Featured Role - Play) for a revival of "A Streetcar Named Desire."
- Ryan, her professional surname, is her mother's maiden name.
- Best friends with Patricia Clarkson.
- We're talking about comparing it to a film, which was amazing, and the actors were such great actors in terms of style, but it's important not to just hold onto that. My 15-year-old nephew came to the show, and it's his first 'Streetcar,' and lots of people's first 'Streetcars', so it's important in that sense too. As far as the criticisms go, it's news making, but that's about it.
- The career stuff is easy; it is just about saying, 'Yes, I would love to to come and do that.' But I have not cleaned my bathroom in three months.
- [on her voiceover role as Michelle McNamara ] Mostly Liz [Garbus] and I talked about Michelle's caffeinated energy. She's really on the cusp of figuring this out, and this driving force is keeping her up late at night, going down these rabbit holes of investigation. I listened to a lot of existing recordings, her podcast. When you layer in the emotional side of it, I think the audience will forgive that it's not exactly a dead-on impersonation.
