I saw Juliette Lewis on an episode of Dharma & Greg, Saturday morning when I was up at 6amish. I dig her. Jenna Elfman is cool too. but I dig Juliette Lewis every time. I like watching her face and I like listening to her. that voice-looks aspect. she's got one I like.
esp in Hysterical Blindness.
Juliette Lewis b.1973. imdb bio: "Hysterical Blindness" was the centerpiece premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. "I've never seen this female perspective told before with such a true voice," says Lewis, who plays a single mother in "Hysterical Blindness." "It's raw, heartbreakingly honest and real."





so what other actresses do I happen to like watching and listening to?
I think of ... Jayne Brook b.1960 ...
Rachel Lewiston (5 episodes, 2006)("Boston Legal" 5 episodes 2006) really liked her in that role. and some guest spots elsewhere - greysanatomy, withoutatrace (where she turned out to be ~villianous - elsewhere her characters have been solidly likeable women )




similar to Jayne Brooke (to me) is Anne Ramsay who was on MadAboutYou as HelenHunt's crazyish sister Lisa. liked that character of course, but she was the jayne brooke type more on the recent episode of House, she was a successful photographer in her 40s and pregnant (so Cuddy got very involved in the case - and they operated on the baby while it was still partially in the womb - and a little hand reached out to touch House's arm and he paused - then said "Sorry, I just realized I forgot to tivo Alien." )
anyway she also seems intelligent and lovely. same age? huh indeed. also born 1960.




related in my mind a bit ... Melora Hardin - jan on the office, monk's wife (in flashbacks), like jayne brooke, also guested on BostonLegal - maybe that's part of why she seems like an actress in the same ~category (age? ~she's younger - b.1967). oh and guest role on gilmoregirls as therapist who emily tried to set up with chris and lorelai ended up talking to, sitting in back of her car. she was very nice.
I like her pretty well, she also seems solid,intelligent.

4/21 SAT just watched on dvd last 2 episodes of season 1 House, with Sela Ward. b. 1956. don't think I'd seen her before. she seemed to me very similar to Melora Hardin - a resemblance in facial features? maybe voice and manner.
on imdb others say she is resembled by jeanne tripplehorn (who to me seems different from these two - eg in Big Love - she seems ~ smaller maybe, not as solid?) and like ashley judd, wh is int - makes notice how pretty her face can be.
