I recently watched the film "Carol" and noticed that it marks Rooney Mara's 3rd time playing a queer character. She was queer in "Side Effects", and "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". She's now tied with Neve Campbell ("Wild Things", "Panic", and "When Will I Be Loved"). Followed closely by Piper Perabo ("Lost And Delirious", "Imagine Me And You"). Are there other straight actresses with a number of queer roles on their resume anyone can think of?
shareI'm going to say actress Natasha Lyonne. Natasha Lyonne has a number of queer roles on her resume:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005169/
I highly recommend you watch her movie But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179116/
Here she is receiving an Ally For Equality award. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQqY1uosPFc (15 min)
@dpratt-33500 Thanks for your reply. I have seen "But I'm A Cheerleader" with Natasha Lyonne. Natasha is actually tied with Rooney Mara ("American Pie", "Orange Is a The New Black", and . . . Cheerleader"). Of course I thought of a few more actresses after my post:
-Pascale Bussieres
-Radha Mitchell
-Sheetal Sheth
-Lisa Ray
-Jodhi May
Natasha Lyonne also played a lesbian in Addicted to Fresno as well as a new movie that she's in called The Intervention. So that's at least 5 movies right there.
When you say that Natasha Lyonne is tied with Rooney Mara are you saying they're a couple? Sorry if this sounds ignorant. I guess just didn't understand you.
@dpratt-33500 I was unaware to date that Natasha Lyonne appeared in more than 3 queer roles. That's why I said she and Rooney Mara were tied. I guess Ms Mara better get on the ball if she wants to keep up lol.
shareShe has more queer roles than you can shake a stick at. So much that I was starting to think she must be gay in real life. But as it turns out, she has had sex with a few women, but she isn't gay. However from her comments I think it's safe to say she is at least heteroflexible.
shareBex Taylor-Klaus has also played a queer girl in multiple roles. I just discovered her.
