She was every bit as gorgeous as I recalled. She also was a very good actress by that stage. I remember walking into The Last King of Scotland and wondering if HOM had been a fluke. It clearly wasn't. she toys with McAvoy in that thing before leaving him wimpering. With a couple big Oscar-y scenes that weren't there, she might have gotten some buzz.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of what might have been in her career. What if she had stayed in Hollywood and not moved to London? What if she had starred in Dogma, as Kevin Smith supposedly wanted, if you believe IMDb? What if she didn't have to turn down Clarice in Hannibal b/c of contractual restrictions? That really makes it frustrating. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, you would be hard-pressed to find such a consistently critically praised <BR/>actor or actress who emerged from 1990s television.<BR/><BR/>I don't run around wondering what might have been about David Duchovny's career. It's good to see that he is having success on cable. But Anderson is better than that. <BR/><BR/>Nonetheless, she has this Gellhorn thing going that looks promising. Be hopeful. <BR/><BR/>http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20209670,00.htmlK.

As I said over at Coleman's Corner, I've been watching all of the mythology episodes of the first four seasons of <I>The X-Files</I> (who knows, maybe I'll summon the bravery to keep going). Every time I look at these episodes again, I think, "Damn, she's just as beautiful as I thought she was." So much for the theory that my twelve-year-old hormones were getting the best of me.<BR/><BR/>I don't understand how her screen career dwindled, either. Part of it seemed to be her own choice, as she took up more and more plays in London.Coleman's Corner in Cinema...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04761319284479513957noreply@blogger.com
