This is a little like the post from a few weeks ago...where mostly Euro/Brit actresses were named.

Well, I've thought about it, and there are a few girls from America with acting chops:

Jennifer Connelly(sp?) (33)...getting better all the time!
Outstanding acting job in house of Sand and Fog and Dangerous Mind.

Diane Lane (38)...great in Unfaithful, but great roles don't seem to come her way.

Jennifer Aniston (late 30's)...very good in The Good Girl...probably gonna get better (and better parts) now that TV show is over.

Uma Thurman (she's not 40 yet, is she?)...Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bills should say it all...unlike the above three ladies, I don't find Uma to have killer good looks...and imo she has the UGLIEST feet ever on a woman! Prety fine actor, imo.

Halle Berry...don't let the drop dead good looks fool ya...strong acting chops...but, Halle---Gothika to follow up your Oscar?

Laura Linney...more "pretty" than beautiful, always interesting even in so-so films, imo. Currently Frasier's girlfriend on tv...back to the big screen, LL!

There are many others...you want more?

Good Question, Thanks!
