Hard to chose between Kramer and Tootsie but Tootsie has had a more lasting effect on me so I voted for Jessica. I would give her the Oscar just for the last scene of that movie alone. They both act so incredibly well in it, you can feel all of those emotions and dialogue just feom the first few looks after she steps out of the door. Thank you for your answer! Jessica Lange in "Tootsie" is very natural and likeable. I read somewhere that Jessica had just got done filming "Frances" and was emotionally exhausted from the experience (which I can totally believe) and then she was offered the role of Julie in "Tootsie" and her "Frances" co-star, Kim Stanley, suggested to Lange to take the role as it would be lightweight and pleasant and nowhere near as demanding as FF and that it would do Jessica some real good to play the part. Makes perfect sense to me. I can imagine, how exhausting such roles like in Frances must be. I never really realized how incredibly emotionally (not to mention physically) exhausting acting is, till I started to dabble in directing. when you have a role that needs to showcase some heavy emotions and its a good actor/actress, they really go for their own emotions and bring it all on display, I have so much respect for that ability, I couldn't do it, and wouldn't want to do it. I watched the process many times when the actress would be really emotionally almost depleted after a few heavy scenes. Respect, really. i also understand why actors often fall in love with their costars on directors. the intimacy of some of the roles and relationships gets really very quickly. |
