Favorite Actresses....
Favorite Actresses...
Got this one at Sheila's.
Took a little more thought than I'd have originally believed....my first list came out 33 long, and had a couple more names pop to mind. Pared down...here's my top 20...
Gracie....best timing maybe in all of comedy ever...
Kathy Bates in Misery...scariest performance of all time? Definitely one of them. I've always thought she was scary in Misery because none of us is terribly far from Annie Wilkes' frame of mind...
The very underrated Paget Brewster. Just a personal favorite...check out The Specials....It is a crime that Andy Richter Controls the Universe isn't out on DVD yet...
The first thing I remember seeing her in was a filmed version of Twelfth Night. I dunno...spooky...I'd like to see her wander down the comedic path, because I think she'd be a riot.
Wow....Julie Christie's just done so much great stuff, you don't even know where to start.
I have no real reasoning to back this statement up, but I look at Geena Davis and say to myself "old school..."
Another one who doesn't get enough appreciation for her comic work. Citizen Ruth is something to be as proud of as anything she's done, and she's done a helluva lot of good work.
You gotta love a woman who throws herself into a chicken impression with all her being.
Wow.
She might be the best actress of her generation.
I don't believe there is anything Holly Hunter can't do. We once had a small debate about whether she or Jodie Foster was a better actress....my reasoning: Holly Hunter is tremendously funny. Jodie Foster? Maybe the one person besides DeNiro who shouldn't try anymore....
Speaking of funny....
Another very underrated actress....her comic timing is better than almost anybody working today. Flirting with Disaster is a beautiful piece....
Just great in just about everything she does...I feel like having Amy Madigan in your picture's probably a sign of a quality flick. I just watched Gone Baby Gone again...I really dig her in that. And you can't ever go wrong with Field of Dreams....
She's mesmerizing, to me. She's another that seems uncomfortable with comedy, although Maude Lebowski is probably my favorite character right after Walter, in Big Lebowski. She's scary good in Short Cuts...there's a fight she has, playing wife to Matthew Modine's hubby...it's like a car wreck...very raw...
Maybe the funniest woman working today? Maybe the best comedy instincts going....
When I pared down my list, I cut off a few SNL people, including Amy Poehler, Julia Louis Dreyfuss and Jane Curtin....there's a little more subtlety in the stuff Gilda Radner did. I have a feeling she could make you cry as easily as she could make you laugh....
Heh heh heh. I'm not smart enough with the words to be able to describe the way I feel here.
Speaking of Short Cuts...probably my second favorite fight of all time on a movie comes from Lily and Tom Waits as Earl Piggott....Another of the funniest ladies of all time.
Can't think of too much that she's done that I haven't dug....
