William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
As far as I can tell she's Italian. I don't know how olive they're supposed to be.
Depends on the Italian, and also how people are defining olive.
I'd always, in all my years of devouring cosmetics books, known olive as an undertone (can look faintly greenish, can be pale or deep), not a color depth. With the whole Hunger Games Katniss casting drama, apparently, other people had a different working definition.
Wallace Shawn: You know, there’s not too much to say about it. I suppose my agent did something unusual in telling me who they really wanted. And telling me that I was the third choice. I was very, very aware that I was not the first or second choice. I mean, ordinarily, agents don’t do that, and I must admit in my case, it did make it hard for me. Because I didn’t get the sense of humor, really, didn’t understand it very well. It’s not my type of humor, so the director had to kind of coach me through everything I did.
It’s by far what I’m best known for on planet Earth. No day goes by without someone commenting on it to me. It turned out to be one of the most beloved films. People had the most astonishing response to it. Apparently by following Rob Reiner, by trying to imitate him—he would do [my lines], and then I would imitate him. And I must have done it adequately, as people compliment me on it on a daily basis.
Let's just say what I heard about Wallace I heard from his time on Eureka (And his next answer starts with :"Well, that, I did very much enjoy." when asked about working with Mr. The Giant which is just a little bit leading). Also, don't have "I LOVED YOU IN T2" be the first thing you say to Joe Morton. Some people just...that's not how they parse their careers.
With the whole Hunger Games Katniss casting drama, apparently, other people had a different working definition.
Yeah, growing up in NJ, with a lot of people of Mediterrean descent, olive just meant ... olive. Greek or Italian or Portuguese.
That was confusing to me, too, because I have (very pale) olive skin as an american of Italian descent.
I have no idea what olive skin looks like.
John Turturro or Antonio Banderas. Lea Michelle from Glee.
Huh. Okay.
This is clearly like the blond thing for me, because I see no similarity between the Turturros and and Banderas.
Olive skin isn't just one tone, though. Just like any other kind of skin. It's a range.
