"Here is Volumnia, mother to Coriolanus, also suffering the loss of a son, though hers is an adult whose resistance to the masses led him to be branded a traitor, banished, and ultimately killed. In her indigo dress suit of World War I vintage and stiff posture, Traci Laird's Volumnia cuts a regal figure, but when she speaks of Coriolanus, Laird reveals the human heart beneath the military facade, the stabbing pain and outrage Volumnia feels at her son's fate. - Roses and Thistles"

"...and Traci Laird, as Sallie Chisum, friend to both leading men, bring to their roles a sense that even in telling their stories, they know more than they're letting on, adding to that aura of mystery that surrounds the most infamous gunslinger. - The Collected Works of Billy the Kid"
