young Helen Slater


There seem to be a few "looks like" theads here.

My first thought was that she could be a young Helen Slater
of Ruthless People and Supergirl.

Sorry, but not even close.

Is so, is so . . . !

Actually, have you looked at Helen Slater?

I'd say especially in Ruthless People.

There's a definite resemblance. Greta Gerwig is what Helen Slater would have looked like if the boob fairy hadn't skipped over her house when she was a kid.

Helen Slater was a godawful actress with no range. She was very bangable in that 80s bland pretty girl way.

Great Garwig is like the indie version of her. A better actress, but not nearly good enough to merit the many indie roles she gets.

Totally agree it's one of the first things I thought about when I watched Frances Ha.

Both have a Doe like quirky innocence about them which I find very appealing.
