Hot Gallery: Six Feet Under Cast Ten Years Later

Ruth Fisher (Frances Conroy)
Then: As the newly widowed Fisher matriarch, Conroy’s character was a fascinating blend of tightly controlled emotion, wild fits of anger, both real and imagined, and a surprising grit that helped her come into her own in the wake of loss. Unlike most women over the age of 30 who appear on television—or most women of any age who appear on television—Ruth wasn’t always warm and fuzzy, but she was reliably complex, with an identity beyond that of a doting mom or mourning, middle-aged woman.
