New thread!
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Wow, that was a prolonged death.
Yeah, Movies 4 was really hamming it up at the end there.

Yes, well this is why I said it's not her raison d'etre - she HAS played tough, but doesn't ALWAYS.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The difference may be that, in the older days, actors (of all genders) tended to have their own niches. Typecasting, if you want to be less pleasant about it.
But I can't really think of many big old-time actresses who made a career out of playing weak women. Early Olivia de Havilland, maybe, when her primary job was co-starring for Errol Flynn.

No, but I can think of actresses who made a career out of playing ditzes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I guess I should re-state to strong, smart women?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jonathan Brandis committed suicide a couple years ago?! I completely missed this.
