My first crush on a girl...Fast Times at Ridgemont High

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

She should have gotten an Oscar nomination for Georgia...Such a fierce performance.

She was AMAZING in Cabaret (and I hated that show)

And let's not forget the mother of three phone sexer in ShortCuts

I would loved to have seen her as Sally Bowles. Everyone said she was terrible, but I really enjoy her work. She's quite underrated as far as I'm concerned.

I also loved her as Catherine in Proof.

Wish I had seen her Sally too.
She was great in PROOF.

Add me to the list of people who loved her Sally Bowles.

I also loved The Anniversary Party.

An interesting actress, no doubt. I admire her dedication. I don't always love all of her acting choices in her performances, but she's always fascinating to watch.

When she sings the Van Morrison song on stage in Georgia, thats quite a powerful moment.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I don't think I have ever been disappointed in any of her performances...

After Cabaret, i went out and bought every movie she was in.

Though, I have to say, some of her movies weren't that great...The Hitcher...

My favorite movie with her is "Dolores Claiborne ".

Adore her. Her Catherine in Proof affected me so much that I don't think I can ever see the show in any way again. It's one of the most perfect theatre memories I have. First row dead center, and I've never related to a character more. Her performance was stellar. I think I have to go read that again.

Anniversary Party is excellent if you're a fan of the cast- a movie with JJL, Denis O'Hare, Matt McGrath, and Alan Cumming is perfectly fine by me. Once again, I totally got her character and it was the beginning of my love-hate feelings for Alan (and I was one of those uh, enthusiastic fans, oy).
