Love her acting . . . hate her politics

I can't stand her politics, but I certainly appreciate her consistency and earnestness. An additional reason to like her genuineness: she has aged beautifully and naturally, without plastic surgery. In this town, that's saying something.

Politically? A pariah. She's a modern-day Lawrence of Arabia - but without his charming baggage. I've listened to hear speak - and she is plainly an unyielding ideologue. But her acting transcends all of that - she is brilliant.

Great scripts + great actors = great film making.

Yes, she's aging gracefully. She still looks beautiful though I wish she could change her hairstyle. She seems to be channeling the look of Jessica Tandy who also remained beautiful in her 80s. But Vanessa still has what it takes to look chic and sexy.

She's an actress, so I like to focus on her film work rather than her politics. I admire her passion, but it's best left for the news shows and not IMDB. She has had a remarkable career playing a variety of fascinating roles, from Mary, Queen of Scots to Mrs. Dalloway. And she's still beautiful. I hope that I look that radiant and elegant when I'm half her age.
