Poor Trixie. If she's not being perpetually abused and taken advantage of by her boss, Al Swearengen, she's overdosing on laudanum or getting no respect for taking care of the newly-orphaned, non-English-speaking Sofia Metz. And even when she does have the opportunity to escape her undesirable circumstances, she's emotionally incapable of taking the chance, instead choosing to continue her crappy life as is. Perhaps it's her faults that make Paula Malcomson's character so likeable.
After Deadwood, Malcomson stuck to TV. She played Colleen Pickett on a couple episodes of Lost, Meg Riley on ER, Jerri on John from Cincinnati, Maureen Ashby on Sons of Anarchy, and Amanda Graystone on Caprica. She also booked one-off appearances on network dramas Cold Case, Criminal Minds, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Lie to Me, Private Practice, Fringe, Law & Order: LA, and Prime Suspect.
Most recently, Malcomson is widely recognized as Katniss' mother, Mrs. Everdeen, in The Hunger Games series; she also played Roz Demichelis on BBC One's Broken, as well as Helen Clarke in the upcoming mystery thriller We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
