Has she failed to live up to expectations?

She's getting work, but she should be a real genuine A-List star by now. Either get a juicy role in a slice of Oscar-bait or hell, a sweet paycheck deal playing a Batman villain.

Like John Hamm she was perfect for MM, but hardly star materiel.

Hamm has the chops as well and imo would had been a better Batman than Ben Affleck but it is what it is.

[–] kwestmo (4385) 5 years ago

Hamm has had a number of chances to break out and hasn't caught fire.

Yeah, I don't know. If you look at the history of the business, there are quite a few actors who seemed to have the looks and talent for a big career that it never happened for. Hard to say why. Behind the scene politics?

I bet she received hundreds of indecent proposals and she refused them

Yea. I was thinking that.

It would make sense she refused to sleep her way to the top.

She's excellent on "Good Girls." She could be awesome in a Mae West biopic.

She is not a good actress.
