Doesn't get enough respect.


She's won 2 Oscars, stays out of the spotlight for the most part, has generated no controversy and yet she's hardly cast in anything. I think a lot of directors would like to have her in their movie.

I guess she doesn't try/need to be a star. Hence "stays out of the spotlight for the most part, has generated no controversy".

Beautiful
woman, good actress.

reply

I don't mean an A-list star. Just an actress who consistently gets good scripts. She's been doing a lot of small movies and bit parts.

reply

I think she gets those smaller roles for those reasons. Squeaky wheel (publicity hound) gets the oil (role). The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Also according the internet (reliable, we know ), she has a net worth of $40,000,000. With that kind of money, maybe she only wants to work part time.

reply

I agree. And honestly, I think she's gotten hotter as she's gotten older.

reply

What do you want her to be cast in?

She's too old to be Wonderwoman or any of the comicbook movie characters...

reply

Believe it or not, movies not based on comic books exist.

reply

She gets parts in those... I bet it's up to her if she even wants them...

It doesn't have to be a comic book movie. Give her a role as a detective, a mother, someone who's on the run, lawyer, even a period piece.

reply

why would she wanna do a movie about being on the rag?

reply

It could be bloody good.
