Kyra Sedgwick looks familiar, what else has she done?

[dansato]

@residentwriter She's done a lot of movies, like "Singles" and "Something to Talk About," but is probably best known today for her role on the TV show, Closer.

where can i get this video? My teacher has a vhs version, but the whole first scene is totally cut off...

[dansato]

@BassRaider987 It's out of print. Sorry.

Thanks so much for uploading this!! Helen seems to be playing to the audience at the expense of her character, but I'll not fault her too much. Didn't care at all for Paul Rudd in '98; found him more tolerable this time. The REAL TREAT is Kyra Sedgewick's delightfully ebullient performance as "Olivia"!! One complaint; the bests scenes from of Act III are not here: Olivia exclaiming, "What joy! Two of them!", when she first meets Sebastian, Viola's brother; and the discovery of Viola's deception.

Thank you for posting! Any idea where we can pick this up on DVD? Can't find it anywhere.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. I LOVE this production so much. I have a VHS recording that I've worn ragged.

i remember this!...i'm sorry but Helen Hunt is the same in every role she plays. The production was sparkling except for her.
