ep. #2.12, "Happy", Sep. 6, '05
"plays ... the Gavin family's estranged daughter, Maggie, and smokes in
each of the scenes she's in with several deep inhales. Exhales weren't
obvious, but this was the performance of a true IRLer."

ep. #3.2, "Discovery", Jun. 6, '06
"has short closeup scene with sexy dangle and lightup. Scene cuts before
inhale. Very sexy with nice dialog '...where I smoke and we make
out...yeah, I really need it'. holds a cig while standing outside the
restaurant just after the fight scene starts. Again the scene cuts just
prior to inhale. The Roth scene is highly recommended. Ignoring
commercials - 30m15s, 43m30s."
"Rescue Me" (2004) | Paige Turco
ep. #3.3, "Torture", Jun. 13, '06
"In the trailer ... she is shown, sitting on a couch with Dennis Leary,
holding a lit cigarette. There were no inhales or exhales shown but, with
the way this show promotes smoking, there's promise."
"Turco has 3 inhales and 2 moderately visible exhales, shot from a moderate
distance. She looks like she's probably IRL."
"She is shown holding while sitting on a sofa. She takes two drags but the
exhales are not well lit. She takes a third drag as she gets up and walks
off screen. Not great but not that bad either.
"Three powerful drags with visible exhales while sitting on couch after
furiously riding Dennis Leary. Very nice. Good dialog. Ignoring
commercials the scene occurs 11min 8sec into episode."

Tatum O'Neal - Info - "she uses her mother, Joanna Cook, as her ["Rescue Me" (2004)] character's inspiration. 'I often say my mother was a very big character and she liked to smoke and drink and she was bigger then life and had a wig and smoked a cigarette,' Tatum said. 'So I will often drop into my mother a little bit'", Access Hollywood, Jul. 10, '07
Callie Thorne - Proof - "[on "Rescue Me" (2004) set] We all smoke, so you'd think we'd have our lighters. But every day, people pat themselves going, 'Uh, do you have a lighter?' That set would shut down and heads would burst into flames if smoking was banned", People Magazine
