One of the best.

She's class all the way, beautiful and her voice is music to my ears.

I agree, what is it about that proper English accent that is so captivating. I have a real soft spot foe English girls.

Sure. I fell in love with her in "The Postman". Don't believe all the *beep* about this movie. It's quite good and better because she's in it.

I've only seen her in Peter Pan (2003), and in The Sixth Sense, and in The Postman, nothing else, so my comments are rather limited to these three movies..

In The Postman, she had a fair share of lines, but, being an action movie, nobody really cares how well an actress can act, only how pretty she is. So, although I agree that her contribution is one of the few saving graces for that film, I think she got ripped off from being in it.

In The Sixth Sense and PP03, her roles were very important, but also consirably minor.. she has very few lines in either of those movies. It wasn't until I'd seen PP03 SEVERAL times that it suddenly dawned on me that her acting was being conveyed in her ACTIONS, not her lines..

Sure, it's true that you see what you want to see, and that's the whole point of The Sixth Sense. So, until you've seen it again, you miss the subtle clues her acting portrays. But you wouldn't really expect the subliminal messages she conveys in an action/adventure movie like PP03, but they're there.

She has probably 20 lines in PP03, yet her presence is felt throughout the whole movie.. not just in the scenes where her subtle gestures and expressions make up for hundreds of unspoken lines, but because of the silent role she playes, it is extremely easy to really begin to wonder just what Mrs. Darling would think of Wendy becoming a pirate. (And I have my own views of exactly that).

I can't think of any actresses who have been given opportunities to perform important subliminal roles like she has, and pulled them off. Ms. Williams is definitely one of the more talented actresses there are.

Olivia was the best thing in The Postman.

I am older but not dead yet.

English girls aren't generally very good-looking, but those who are, they really are beautiful!

About the physical and subliminal acting... well... if you (as an actor/actress) haven't been given many lines to say, it means it's more crucial to decide where your character is coming from and their views etc.

I've seen her in:

The Sixth Sense - small but hardest and v. important part in the film - on the DVD extras this is said about the part and how no one could have pulled it off as well.

Rushmore - particular soft-spot for her there - as I, too, fell inlove with a teacher - have the same mellow well-spoken lilting voice as well!

Lucky Break - English romantic comedy with James Nesbitt, she's the female lead - and sings in it! Wonderful.

Born Romantic - English romantic comedy. There are 3 leading women and 3 leading men - she's one of the leading women. She plays a slightly ice-cold biatchy character. Get to see her salsa dancing. (But she's modestly dressed - so don't let this ruin your impression of her integrity and grace etc. lol)

And, obviously, saw her in The One with Ross' Wedding, in Friends where, if I remember correctly, she got it on with Joey in the coat cupboard...?

Ooh - I saw her in a deleted scene from The Royal Tenenbaums too!!! It was a hilarious scene, so random! She was this arty woman in cool glasses and a sort of Sari, painting another woman nude - I think it must have been deleted for being a bit *too* random... audiences might have got confused and thought they'd missed something.
