A woman who has helped bring true glamour back to Hollywood.
I first saw her in "Catherine the Great" a British film about the Tsarina of Russia.Then I saw her on tv again in what was to become my all-time favourite show "The darling buds of May" with David Jason.Every one always seems to be struck by how naturally beautiful Catherine is.I agree.I think every woman would love to be that romantically beautiful.I have been a fan of Ms Jones since my teens and was more than impressed with her Chicago performance.This Movie Star truly reminds me of Hollywood Greats Elizabeth Taylor & Marilyn Monroe in Star-power.I also love the fact that this actress is not a playboy centrefold.Nice to see a beautiful woman not afraid to say no to Hugh Hefner.Dignified,hard-working,funny,spirited,commited to her family and not giving out under the Hollywood pressure to become a walking skeleton.Alot to admire for like-minded women everywhere.

Michael Douglas,Jamie Lee Curtis,Melanie Griffith & Jane Fonda.
These are children of celebrities who have really made a name in acting terms.
Kate Hudson seems to have gained recognition and the choicest
of roles based purely on her parents fame.
I think she has a wonderful screen presence and hope in the future she will find the roles that make her the actress she could be instead of the career Movie Star roles she's been content to take on.
I'd love to see her in something like Out of Africa,Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile or something not in the present day.Get out of Hollywood and the artificial Hotel lifestyle Kate and experience the inspiration of reality.

Marilyn Monroe of course became the ultimate Hollywood Movie Star. Highly publicised by the Hollywood studio system intent on cashing in on her success as Lorelli Lee in "Gentlemen prefer blonds" and as a rich husband seeker in "How to marry a millionaire".
To this day she is remembered for being the quintessential dumb blond of Moviedom. "The seven year itch" & "The Prince and the showgirl".
My favorite films to watch her in would have to be "Niagara" and "Don't bother to knock".
Before the studio system typecast her she seemed to be cementing a career like that of Lana Turner.
The beautiful,troubled bad girl in Hollywood thrillers.
She was an appreciative actress,wanting to please her fans and yet still struggling to be allowed to play a variety of roles.
Later she achieved a measure of this in "Bus stop" and "The Misfits".
She was a wonderful Commediene,a brilliant Movie Star,a Beautiful Woman & a Gifted Actress.

In my personal opinion this is the Greatest screen ACTOR since Laurence Olivier.
From his tortured portrayal of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, to his violent multi-layered interpretation in Schindler's list,Ralph Fiennes has the intensity of a skilled craftsman. He never over states his performances and yet there is something that stands out in each of his characters.
A truth.
A cinematic reality, and yet it has been portrayed by skilled craft work. So real sometimes it's hard to watch,but it's impossible not to. A true Genius. I cannot believe he never won an Oscar for Schindler's list.

Brilliant!My absolute favorite television personality.
He brings hilarious mannerisms to each of his roles. A wonderful warm-hearted performer. I enjoy watching him.

Brilliant!My absolute favorite television personality.
He brings hilarious mannerisms to each of his roles. A wonderful warm-hearted performer. I enjoy watching him.
He is a true Entertainer.
Plays a more gritty role sometimes in A touch of Frost,and proves his acting range with the distinct character differences from Derrick Trotter to the nutty Count Duckular.
What a classic! Just for a bit of trivia, according to a stint on Michael Parkinson he even got his Helicopter pilot licence in real life and became a first time father, all in his 60's.
He's a true television legend, right up there alongside John Cleese,Ronny Barker,Spike Milligan & Dawn French. I love him!

A wonderful performance in which he held his own as a recovering accident victim rekindled to living by the mysteries and happenings of his new village life.

A wonderful performance in which he held his own as a recovering accident victim rekindled to living by the mysteries and happenings of his new village life.
Enthralling to watch because he invited the viewer to watch his thoughts through his eyes.Miss Marple took a back seat to this character's sleuthing and yet I didn't mind a bit.
James D'arcy's acting reminds me of a young Ralph Fiennes.
