Actress Trivia:

Liv Ullmann was offered a role in Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill, but turned it down on account of the violence of the theme and having a young daughter.


Actress Quote:

"I'm lucky I don't do the kind of work where the main thing is that you're the girl and you look gorgeous. I don't look like that. I'm a funny-looking bugger. I don't feel that I can compete, and I wouldn't want to. Life's too short to spend seven hours a day in the gym and starving yourself."

- Emily Watson

 

[JohnRice]

I'll place a vote so Tilda Swinton can move on. I couldn't make up my mind, but it seems it is necessary.

 

[SteveGon]

Woo-hoo!

Christie is a fine actress, but Tilda is far more interesting.
