Actresses

[HHJ]

Its really easy to pick favorite actors,but actresses I have to really think about.And this is not because women are inferior to men,but they don't get the cool roles that men get as often. Im sure we will get a lot of Meryl Streep so give me some others.

Ill name two that really go above and beyond on the emotional spectrum.

Isabelle Adjani in Possession

Ellen Burstyn in the Exorcist (as well as Requiem For a Dream)

Really grown to love Lena Headey as an actress especially due to GOT. Her delivery of her dialogue is so rich and expressive she steals every scene she is in. I look forward to her future projects from here on out.

She really has a commanding regal presence.I don't know how she does it but she does it.

This. She’s so awesome.

Ms Burstyn and Ms McDormand are both excellent. I think Jennifer Carpenter is fantastic as well. She just needs roles. No idea what she's doing now. She was great in Dexter and Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Sarah Michelle Gellar displayed a wonderful array of acting in the Buffy series. Its a shame she never landed some good roles after because it was clear she was capable of alot.

One of the first people I think about is Marion Cottilard for some reason. Not my favorite but I can recall her off the top of my head easily.

I thought she was great too.

Its definitely true I'd agree that actresses seem to struggle to get consistently excellent roles relative to actors. Perhaps less so outside the US though? one obvious one that comes to mind for me is Juliette Binoche, not everthing she's in has been great of course but she's been in quality films pretty regularly for 30+ years now, not falling back to "elder stateswoman" kind of roles much either

Women are not good at creating art.

They sure are good at inspiring it though.
I've created many a Jackson Pollock painting........in white.
