It's no secret to those who know me that I love Julia Stiles like none other. She's beautiful, intelligent, capable, athletic, and bitingly witty.
I also adore Clare Danes. Altho she seems to be a weaker female to me, there's something about her that says "I'm coping and you can cope too." She was a balm to my teenage soul.
Now that I've looked her up, I realize that I have one more favorite actress: Maggie Gyllenhaal. She's to die for. I've seen lots of movies that she's been in, and I think she's fantastic. Really, it's just today that I connected all the dots and realized that she's the same actress in all these great movies.
Anyway, the thing that is now bugging me is trying to remember one of her movies. It's the userpic for an LJ user, and I can't figure it out. She's in a wedding dress in the photo, and I know I've seen it in a movie somewhere. Gah. Maybe it's from Secretary?
Okay, yeah, so I finally figured out the answer via IMDB (google, strangely enough, could not help me well with this quest). She's in a wedding dress in Secretary, which is a great movie.
PS I really want to see Criminal now. John C. Reilly, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and none other than my favorite Latino boy, Diego Luna (ignore the IMDB photo; he's much hotter). Swoon.
