Too cold/superior for an actress.


Even in an interview she said 'I'm as good as anyone out there"(referring to why she isn't hired more) She is?
I can see why she was the contender for Cybil Shepard's role in LAST PICTURE SHOW

reply

That's probably why she's very limited in the roles she gets.

reply

But is SHE aware of why?
As I mentioned, she said on a talk show "I'm just as good as anyone out there", when referring to why she doesn't get booked more. Way too self-confident.
She tried to go plain/earthy in that Willie Nelson film, but that didnt' work either

reply

I have a feeling she thinks she's underrated. I've seen interviews where she's said she should be playing doctors and lawyers, but she only gets glamorous parts because of her cheekbones and nose. That's obviously not the only reason since she has gotten non glamorous roles- the Willie Nelson film you mentioned and a role as a nun in a film called Gospa- but she's obviously not impressive enough as an actress to keep getting those types of roles. Morgan's about as good as Susan Lucci

'but she only gets glamorous parts because of her cheekbones and nose.'

hehe
Would anybody with modesty even say that?

Too bad she doesn't know that her nose moves when she speaks like a rabbit (a possible result of a nose-job, and the connective tissue)

Sybil Danning & Pam Grier, didn't seem to have a problem. getting hardcore female roles early on, but morgan seems to have no such luck?

I think there's is big difference between the 2 above women. Grier is known for being an excellent actress and has been in major films--and was good enough to show warmth if needed. Danning?

reply

Nobody’s ever accused Pam Grier of being any kind of actress.

reply

ok, ok I agree with pam grier, but Sybil danning is a B-Movie actress. so she is not going to be on that level and it shows. so point taken?

reply

The other factor is that Morgan is not going to take a film containing softcore, or a slasher. She probably gets offers,but declines.
