In Reply to: Cate Blanchett... greatest actress today? Perhaps, but I get posted by tinear on November 20, 2006 at 04:41:58:
OK. Discussing Winslet, Swinton, Moore and Blanchette...Three have light or blond hair. But Moore has auburn hair. Not blonde. Definitely not.If you add in Kidman and Watts...well...all these actresses are good at a variety of accents - but only one of them (Moore) is an American and is cast primarily as an American accented English speaker. (As you know, Winslet & Swinton are Brits and Blanchette, Kidman and Watts are Aussies.)
Physically they are A) tall and thin (Blanchette), B) taller and thin (Kidman), C) taller and really really thin (Swinton), D) medium sized and moderately slender w/curves (Winslet), E) medium to short sized and very thin (Watts), and (F) short and thin (Moore). There is at least 5" difference in Kidman's height and Watts'. Personally, I think Watts has more versatility and range but your adoration of Kidman is well known.
Honestly, these fine actors don't look a thing a like. Their faces aren't remotely similar, and neither are their acting styles or physiology.
Try staying awake through those flickers.
