Her portrayl of Sylvia Plath in "Sylvia"


I thought she was an excellent choice to play Plath.

I baked a pie full of rat poison. My nana... liked sweets. She had three pieces.

Yeah. A mediocre film but a stunning performance.

If you loved her in that, check out Proof (2005)sometime.

Will you be there?

She was exquisite in it. Simply amazing and it got her a Globe nod but no love from the Academy, just like equally, if not better, performance in Proof. I think they've been punishing her for their own mistakes. The Academy still gets trashed the most for their 'undeserved' wins (by the public) and hers for Shakespeare still gets mentioned every year that the Oscars snub someone. Amazing since it's not her fault they loved her back then (and the public). Hard to believe, but between 1996 to 1998 Gwyneth was the American sweetheart; like Jennifer Lawrence of that era!

Your right. The director wasted her talent in that film. My what a stunning body she has. And those legs...ooohh 

I still prefer Gwyneth Paltrow over Jennifer Lawrence. Jen is too chubby, not that sweet

She was spectacular in that role. Another example of just how great actress she is. Another one is Proof. I still can't believe she didn't get nominated for that, 10 years ago.
