Looks quite aged and tired in the recent bates episodes. Earlier seasons she looked fine but from middle if third season it became noticeable to me like lol.

regardless, her attractiveness remains unmatched in my mind.

as i always say... Vera is an anomaly of nature as she's pretty much immune to losing her core attractiveness as no one is more overall attractive than she is ;)

she's actually distracting for me when i watch her in movies etc as it's like i am trying to watch the movie but my mind sort of goes on autopilot and focuses on how attractive she is (which can take me out of the movie etc at times). she's the holy grail of women ;)

p.s. @ OP ; http://goo.gl/hCdgK9 ; there is the section of her in that Law and Order episode for download. it's only 15MB and it's a .avi (XviD video format) file @2min41sec. so you ain't gotta worry about computer viruses or anything as you just download the file and play it with a decent video player on your computer.

Vera is one of the few women that I will watch a movie if she is in it even if the movie does not sound good. She is amazing.

Exactly!

i have seen a large portion of her filmography but for me the only movies of her's that stand out (as in 7 or higher) are...

1.The Departed (2006) - 10/10 (my #1 film of 2006)
2.Source Code (2011) - 8.5-9/10 (my #1 film of 2011)
3.Up in the Air (2009) - 8-8.5/10 (my #2 film of 2009)
4.Running Scared (2006) - 7.5-8/10 (between my 5th-7th favorite movie of 2006. also, this contains my favorite scene of Vera's which is the 'pedophile scene' (that's not as bad as it sounds))
5.At Middleton (2013) - 7-7.5/10 (my #3 movie of 2013)

also, the only movie of Vera's i could not finish watching due to boredom would be... Closer to the Moon (2014-2015) (2-3/10) (outside of that the rest of her movies are 5/10 or higher(5/10 is a Thumbs Down from me though but not bad)). but with that said while i killed it @40min into it at that point, just purely because of her attractiveness, i fast forwarded just to see her sections of the movie from there on forward.

p.s. also, nice side view picture of her eyes there in your link ;)

Did you see her in Nothing But the Truth (2008)? I noticed you never mentioned it. Although Kate Beckinsale was the lead Vera was outstanding IMO.

Yeah, i have seen that years ago (basically back around the time it was released on video) but it just never really had any re-watch appeal for me as re-watch factor is what ultimately makes or breaks a movie in the long term in my mind which is why i listed those six movies i did in my above post as those are the movies that stick with me the most of everything she appeared in even though there is still a bit more that i do mildly like.

but yeah, Vera's smaller role was solid.

so basically... Nothing But the Truth (2008) (5/10(Thumbs Down)). it was decent enough for a viewing even though i have no desire to re-watch it which makes it Thumbs Down status for me as 6/10 and higher is re-watch level and 5/10 or less i won't re-watch (with rare exception). but a 5/10 is basically a middle-of-the-road score for me (which usually means decent enough to see once but has no re-watch appeal).

p.s. like i was saying i have seen a large portion of Vera's filmography. to be precise... i have seen 25 out of the 33 movies (that 33 movie figure excludes TV shows and TV Movies).

I guess I like Vera more than you. Movies like Nothing But the Truth or this one: The Conjuring (2013) I only give a 5 or 6 out of 10 but I will re-watch them just because Vera is the star or even the co-star. She alone can make a 5/10 movie worth watching again.
