In 2007-2008, she had a recurring role as Nina Burns, a neighbor of the Malloy/"Rich" family in The Riches with Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard.[11] Martindale joined the cast of Justified for the second season.

  • 2011 -- Won Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the Critics' Choice Television Awards for her role as Mags Bennett in the FX drama Justified. In her acceptance speech Martindale said "Who said turning sixty was a bad thing" and "I'm so excited, and dead on this show," making reference to the self-inflicted demise of her character in the Justified season 2 finale.[15]
  • 2011 -- Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for Justified. After learning of the nomination, Martindale told CNN she hoped that it would open up more doors for older women in Hollywood. "People really identify with this character [Mags Bennett] and I think it’s because it is a character that is powerful and older and extremely mean," said Martindale.[16]

Personal life

Margo Martindale has been married to musician Bill Boals since 1986. They have a daughter, Margaret, born in 1988.
