Actress Quotes:

"I really hated charm school. I guess I'm just a little bit bad."

- Maggie Gyllenhaal


"My earliest memory is loneliness. That's a hard thing to live with"

- Juliette Binoche

 

[JohnRice]

Emily Watson - I like Maggie and I look forward to many years of watching her, but I admire Emily's ability to disappear in a role.

Julie Christie - Because she's Julie Christie.

 

[SteveGon]

The Watson/Gyllenhaal matchup is tough - Emily is indeed a fine actress, but Maggie has an appealing presence that's tough to beat.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Emily Watson (close)

Julie Christie (not so close)

Juliette Binoche

 

[JohnRice]

If someone doesn't vote for Maggie, Steve may not let us play anymore.

 

[Justin_S]

Maggie Gyllenhaal
Julie Christie

 

[Marc Fedderman]

Maggie Gyllenhaal

Julie Christie

 

[Bill McA]

Emily Watson

Julie Christie



Having seen both in person...believe me, Emily Watson has by far the most appealing presence....and she didn't have to walk around with her boobs hanging out just to get noticed like Maggie did.

 

[JohnRice]

I suspect Steve meant screen presence. Besides, what do you have against boobs hanging out?

 

[Rain]

Abstain.

Julie Christie

 

[Bill McA]

Desperation is never appealing...

 

[SteveGon]

I hardly think Maggie is desperate.

If I had boobs, I'd let 'em hang out.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

You got to see Maggie's boobs hanging out?!?!?!

 

[Elizabeth S]

Emily Watson
abstain - I don't feel I've seen enough of Julie Christie
