We really neeed to compile a who's who of the Hollywood-Cannes useful idiot crowd.
Di Caprio's new movie is coming out. Some of these folk are near has beens.
Viggo Mortenson played Aragorn in Lord of the Rings, etc.
Shame, shes a beauty and seemingly intelligent and erotic but alas maybe her agent told her she had to go in order to enhace her profile. This is amzing too see during wartime.
Birthday: June 10, 1982
Birthplace: Carmarque, France
Height: 5'9"
Occupation: Actress
Birth Name: Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta Sobieski
This explains it all.
I wish Disney had distributed this movie right after Cannes. It would have bombed quickly at the box office and without all the publicity it has been generating, it would have been forgotten by Memorial Day.
"Manheim Steamroller"?
No, she plays a lawyer on the defuncnt and unlamented "The Practice" She could, of course, throw herself under a steamroller.
I thought she was about the size of a steamroller.
True, yet nowhere near as attractive or functional...
"Viggo Mortenson played Aragorn in Lord of the Rings, etc."
Let's be honest. No one saw Lord of the Rings because Viggo Mortenson was in it. They could have gotten any reasonably good actor to play Aragorn and the movie would have been just has good and made just as much money.
Well, I did see Lord of the Rings. I do, however, defer to your insight regarding Viggo's part. You're probably right. He's not that deep.
What a ho
Sean Astin (Sam) is on it too. The man who played the dwarf, Gimli (Sallah, in Raiders of the Lost Ark), is very onservative, on the other hand. Several REALLY good threads here at FR about his comments regarding Islam.
(Sigh)
You know, I'm a little surprised to find Sharon Stone and Chris Rock on that list.
Though not GOP'ers, both actors have shown in previous years that they have an independent-thinking mind.
Well, at least they USED to anyway...
