never seen genevieve bujold look lovelier than in this movie


victoria pricipal looked good too even in the afro wig. maybe the director had an eye for the ladies. and i dont mean that in the sense that he chased anything in a skirt but that maybe he was discerning when it was time to cast the picture. maybe he could pick them as they say.

I think that Ms. Bujold is the best thing about the film, acting wise. She seemed to be the only truly interesting character. In addition, this was when she was, in my opninion, at her lovliest. Other films that followed highlighted her soft beauty and some wonderful peformances - "Obsession" and "Coma".

cant comment on how she looked in obsession but i think she looke much better in eathquake than in coma. a real night and day differance. i dont know what that differance was. it couldnt have been age i dont think as theres not that much time between them i dont think but age couldnt have stolen her looks so i dont know what the differance could be

I think that might be partly due the change in her hair styles. She always looked particularly lovely with long hair - "Anne of the Thousand Days" and "Earthquake" for example. Her hair was shorter for "Obsession" and shorter still for "Coma". She always looked very delictae, almost like a china doll. Carol Lynley had a similar look throughout the sixties as well.

I was 16 when this movie was in the theaters, and I had a serious crush on Genevieve Bujold. I wish I could time travel back to that time and make out with her.

She was pretty in it. If she was cast as "the other woman", she had to be pretty to be believable in the part. Imagine a short, flat dog like Rhea Perlman in the part. It would be laughable.

I always think Genevieve Bujold gives great performences,she brings class to everything she does even this hokum.She always looks great too.

She was very pretty in this film, and her intelligence shines through. Plus I LOVE her French accent when she's speaking English. Gomez got turned on when Morticia spoke French, and I can see why. It sounds so sexy.

Indeed! Too bad she sounds like a Belgian longshoreman when she opens her mouth.
