Johnny Depp- Edward Scissorhands 
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Anthony Hopkins in Magic. He was already a well established actor in theatre and tv here in the UK. This was an early foray into what was to become an incredible film career...

Posted: 8/4/07 at 5:09pmThe movie that brought Russell Crowe to major attention wasn't ROMPER STOMPER but an amazing, forgotten film called PROOF, which also had Hugo Weaving. I still think its Crowe's most charming performance...still in his mid-twenties, he was charming, sexy, and humorous. Not at all that stone-faced grim reaper he is now.

She isn't exactly 'Well-known,' but Erin Mackey, who plays Glinda in Chicago's WICKED production, is by far my favorite. She was Lindsay Lohan's opposit in the Parent Trap. Well, whenever they were in the same scene she was the opposit. She was also in one of those, 'You're Invited To Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's...' FASHION PARTY!! Video. She was so cute.
Sorry I just had to share.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 1:28amNatalie Wood in Miracle on 34th Street (which, while not her first, was a very early role for her...and if we want to go earlier she was good in Tomorrow is Forever too, though 34th street was better.)
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Posted: 8/6/07 at 9:35amIt's become kind of sick, at this point - but at the time, seeing a young Mel Gibson frolick on an Australian beach in TIM (with Piper Laurie!) was pretty wonderful.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 10:00amDG, I know what you mean, Gibson is at the height of his beauty in TIM, which I think was his first film. He was really something special once, before he went crazy.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 1:16pmI adored Christian Bale in "Empire of the Sun." He was amazing, and at only 13 years old! I was completely impressed, and the movie is so interesting. It's definitely one of my favorites.
