TCM - Natascha McElhone on working with DeNiro on Ronin

[Mashutubez]

Ohhh! She has a heavenly smile.



[bladrunner6]

talk about come to bed eyes or what!

[AdArmand]

She reminds me of Joan Crawford circa Grand Hotel (1932). Beautiful.

[kingcaesar5]

do you ever notice that De Niro, Day Lewis and Brando are the actors that people always ask what it was like to work with them, not so much Jack, Hoffman, Pacino or the other greats.

[paddy9i99]

Ignorant and now widowed.

[FeicoElzinga]

@paddy9i99 what does that mean ?

[colwilpro]

@paddy9i99 I have met her and she is a very bright, down to earth person who is not impressed with the Hollywood BS (her words).

[paddy9i99]

She sounds thick, unfortunately her shallowness is difficult for her to hide.

A pretty face is not a big enough distraction

[EggoROFLS]

@paddy9i99 What? You can call her many things but shallow is not one of them.

[EminemBase]

She's just jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

I thought she played Irish in Ronin. love that movie.

[E60BMWM5]

What is she talking about when she is saying "script wasn't perfect to begin with".

Well.. to be fare Natasha was the weakest link in that movie and lucky to play with top class actors from all over the world. As I remember even the director didn't like her irish accent that she was playing.

Ronin was one of the best 10 movies of all times. Script was perfect and if you follow the events closely after the cold war, you will understand it.

[Maarow]

@E60BMWM5 Did you write the script or something?

[E60BMWM5]

Yea I wrote it then I put a gun on Natasha's head until she accepted the role...

[mtothesg]

"The script wasn't perfect to begin with" = it started off not perfect and, as the film was shot, evolved and became better. This is a process that happens in the making of virtually every film. She's not suggesting that the *final* script isn't very good.

As for your suggestion that Ronin is one of the 10 best movies ever, well, you're entitled to your opinion but I think it's a pretty absurd claim in light of how many great movies there have been in the entire history of the art form.

[shogunly2]

i love her from movie  picasso

[Barrymit]

I actually thought she was Irish in Ronin and The Devil's Own. Probably one of the few Non-Irish actors who can actually get the Irish accent right.

[mtothesg]

Well, her mum's Irish so you'd expect her to be decent at it, even though she grew up in London! Not that there's any such thing as "the Irish accent", mind you. There are all kinds of different ones all over the country. She does a Belfast accent in the movie.

[carlsunshine]

@mtothesg no shes doesnt, she sounds nothing like shes from belfast

[carlsunshine]

@Barrymit no she friggin cant why do people keep saying this?

get an irish actor to do it cos they always always fuck it up

[cdfe3388]

Natasha McElhone is an absolutely beautiful woman. Gotta say I liked her slightly better with the Irish accent in Ronin and The Devil's Own. Man, I love Irish lassies...guess it's my heritage...anyway, beautiful woman, very talented actress.

[carlsunshine]

@cdfe3388 she has a friggin awful irish accent, all over the place

[MissJagUR]

Lovely lady from London.
