Worst actress, maybe ever


How in the world did Ann Reinking ever get cast in any role that required speaking? Yes, she's a fabulous dancer and has legs that go on forever, but the woman should never be allowed to open her mouth when there's a camera around.

I thought she was just fine, very natural.

She reminds me of Lucie Arnaz.

My only real complaints about her are such minor points, but... her eye-brows! It's like they were half shaved off! And so thin.

And her hair-line...well, it made it look like she was wearing a wig. Hard to explain.

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!

I liked her just fine. Did you see her in All That Jazz? Fantastic.

How do you THINK???!!!

I thought she did a very good job. That scene in her gorgeous office where she is constantly interrupted by phone calls and visitors yet totally keeps her cool made me want her for a boss. She's also excellent in the scene where she's going through false labor and sort of rattles on and on emotionally, yet never becoming nasty.

I get the impression both Ann Reinking and Amy Irving weren't the original choices. They kind of scream: 'Last minute budget slash and much cheaper semi-name replacements'.
