“I am in awe of her talent and if you bother her enough she might release “About a Girl” and you’ll be blown away by her performance,” he wrote. Then, about Rebecca Herbst, the General Hospital alum wrote that “Becky” is one of those incredibly rare actors that can tell entire stories in their eyes.
