 rubschin: And not one single actress yet .... That tells us something.
Perhaps there are very few actresses who actually do more than provide the "Love Interest". Eye candy a-plenty but other than Maggie Smith I am hard put to think of any actress who didn't build a career out of looks but simply "acted" herself throughout her time on TV or in movies and then faded from view as she aged.

Joanna Lumley's acting has improved with age.



As for Ms Streep ~ I can never understand a word she says ..... "mumble, mumble, mumble" ... Which I suppose saves her having to learn her lines.

I feel the same about Nicholas Cage ...have I stressed lately how much I detect the actor who has obviously been indulged despite having a stroke at birth  noooo:

I can't remember how we got talking about it but someone on Friday suggested that Ray Winstone was a good actor.

Now I have seen a few of his films but to me he always plays the same role in some guise or the other ...even in The Sweeney when he was supposed to be the good guy for once he wasn't.

These roles also don't seem too departed from his own persona when he does interviews etc.

So to me he gets paid for being himself ....not a great stretch of acting talent required  rubschin:



The Sweeney...  cloud9:

Surely you're too young to remember that  angel1

I have the Sweeney theme tune for my ringtone...
