Favorite "everywoman" actress. |
|
Much is said about actors being the good "everyman", like Tom Hanks, Paul Giametti, Bruce Willis, etc.
But, not much is said about actresses who aren't afraid to look a little unflattering and just be real. A real person.
I admire actresses like Kathy Bates, Laura Linney, Meryl Streep, Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron. They are believable as blue to white collar people, and are compelling to watch because you don't notice they are acting.
Name some of your "everywoman" actresses.

Really beautiful women, but usually play non-glamourous roles.

I think she got robbed at the Oscars too. She was so good in Transamerica and I wish she would've won.

loved her in "Friends WIth Money", "Fargo" and she was probably the best part of "Burn After Reading" (I didn't like that movie).

Janeane Garofalo is also pretty good in such roles.

I like pretty much everything she's done, although I didn't see "Nanny McPhee".
