Truth be told, while I always considered her to be a fine actress I was never really that big a fan. That is, until I saw some behind-the-scenes footage from Moulin Rouge, where she suddenly gets a very mischievous look and starts an NSFW-joke with her costars during repetitions, causing everyone to erupt in laughter. I've liked her a lot more ever since, and it is the same kind of mischief which (scripted or not) so excellently derailed the Jimmy Fallon interview last week. Couple that with some great serious performances over the years, and... yes, now I'm definitely a fan.
Therefore, once again I'm going to use a gallery of twelve close-ups of one of my favorite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images and guess which twelve movies they're from! No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb.
And I'll post the answers next Thursday (earlier if someone has all of them right).
And here she is as the villainous Millicent, who wants Paddington dead, dead, DEAD!!!
This picture doesn't count yet for the quiz, but all others do. So please browse through the gallery. Click on the edge of this picture to get the next one, and see how many of them all you can identify!
