i really want to see her in a leading role


it seems lately, all of her roles have been supporting exclusively. i think she has incredible potential to take a lead role.

Actually, she kind of did in The Nightmare Before Christmas. She starred as Sally, the female protagonist alongside Jack Skellington. (Her character also had quite the crush on Jack Skellington, too.)

That's true, but I'd love to see Catherine in a leading role where we see her face!

reply

I agree!

reply

Watch "For Your Consideration", she is the lead in that movie.

reply

I did see "For Your Consideration," and Catherine was hilarious! She scrunched her face so it looked like she had plastic surgery. What a talent!

reply

she was great in that film, but that was more of a supporting role to me, since it had a large cast.

reply

Although Catherine has never had the leading role in a movie, she did have the leading role in:

1. Really Weird Tales (the movie is 3 stories- each a half hour long- and Catherine stars in one of the stories.)
2. her episode of "Tales From the Crypt"
3. her episode of "The Outer Limits"

I would definitely say For Your Consideration is everything you're looking for; it's Catherine's masterwork. Many eople say she's supporting, but to me she's the clear lead. And she's brilliant.
