regarding Alanna
I have made it a point to go through the list of movies she's been in and see all the ones I have not seen. She is one of the best actresses out there today. Before I came on this site I had never made the connection from one movie to the next regarding this actress. THAT IS ACTING. Often times she is the most memorable character of a film. I hold her up there with Toni Collette (who also has incredible diversity), Kathy Bates (who steals every scene) and Gena Rowlands (who is so 100% convincing in every role.) Alanna is an addition to the list of my favorites to watch. She deverves more attention then a lot of the so called "stars" today. Maybe that's what makes her different. She is in it because she genuinely cares about her work and is not in it for the fame.
