Kate McKinnon

Equal parts weird, brilliant, and fearless, Kate McKinnon became the modern face of SNL. Whether playing Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, or an alien abductee who “didn’t enjoy the probing,” she brought a wild unpredictability to every sketch. Her characters were as committed as they were unhinged — and somehow always a little heartfelt. A true scene-stealer in every era she touched.
