Who Plays Margot Wainwright In Netflix's Pretty Smart?
By Isabella Wilson
Margot is played in "Pretty Smart" by Molly Ephraim. The talented actor has been in the business since 2003 (via IMDb), and is best known for her turn as Mandy Baxter in the first six seasons of "Last Man Standing." Ephraim has also appeared on popular shows like "Royal Pains," "Law and Order," and "Modern Family," and has showcased her talents on the big screen as well, appearing in "Paranormal Activity 2," "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones," the Hugh Jackman-led political thriller "The Front Runner," and several other films.
While Ephraim has starred in many different projects, she has been particularly outspoken about her love of comedy. In an interview with Red Carpet Roundup, Ephraim talked about her role as Mandy on "Last Man Standing," saying, "I think I'm more relaxed doing comedy and I like being able to play a character so much different than myself ... In real life, I'm so much different than the character I play on the show, so it's a challenge, but I love every second of it."
Now, Ephraim is set to appear in the hotly anticipated "League of Their Own" TV series on Amazon, which focuses on the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League that was made famous by Penny Marshall's 1992 film of the same name. Fortunately, the odds seem high right now that the Amazon series won't be the only time "Pretty Smart" fans can look forward to seeing Ephraim on-screen again.
