Here it is. A thread to post your admiration for Jennifer Jason Leigh, one of the most intensely brilliant actresses working today. And discuss your favourite performance of hers, stage or screen. My vote goes to Last Exit To Brooklyn, but she is also amazing in Short Cuts and in Rush.

Posted: 9/28/04 at 4:39pmI hate to burst your bubble - but she certainly didn't rock in Cabaret at Studio 54...as a matter of fact, she stank. But I do admire her on screen.

I liked her best when she was _____ the carrot in Fast Times as Ridgemont High.

My favorite film of hers is Dolores Claiborne. Her and Kathy Bates were fantastic.
And RedHot, she was the second best Sally I, personally, ever saw in CABARET.

Posted: 9/28/04 at 4:43pmAh yes, Dolores Claiborne. I love the book, and her character isn't actually in the book at all, but her performance was brilliantly, achingly real.

Posted: 9/28/04 at 4:48pmYou THINK? If you saw her, I would seriously hope you'd KNOW.

dorothy parker and the vicious circle
rush
the best little girl in the world

Posted: 9/28/04 at 4:50pmas I said - I like her on screen a lot - Mrs Parker was a great role for her...and Delores Claiborne is a great film. But as Sally Boles - oy - she doesn't seem to have any idea what to do with herself on stage. I think she is best sticking to film roles.

Posted: 9/28/04 at 4:58pmRedhot, in a way that's kind of what I liked about her in that part. She made Sally very vulnerable and unsure which is why I thought she was so heartbreaking in the role.

Well she was very forgetable in "Proof."
I do like her very much on film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Miami Blues, etc.

Loved her in "Proof" and so many films. "Georgia" is amazing.
Love her mom too.
