anne baxter..unforgetable actress

[smokelean]

anne baxter is mezmerizing. She is full on in her intent AND PURPOSE. Not a false note.

Correction.I should have said "affliction".Those kind of roles are known as "sympathy"roles.

Every actor's dream.I must say Anne Baxter excelled in this film and well deserved her

award.

When Marlena Dietrich was asked why she never won an Oscar she said it was because

she never played anybody with an infliction.Look at the history of the winner's roles and

you will see why she said it.

Gene Tierney was not upstaged.Each played the scene as required.Of course it was Anne

Baxter's moment to shine.It was written that way.How could the attention not go to her?

Gene had several brilliant scenes in this film.She was a wonderful, intelligent actress, much

loved and missed by many.I'm sad that anybody would belittle that beautiful human being

who worked so professionally while enduring so much.

Well, folks . . . for those of you who haven't read the book, when Sophie says her greasy, froggy "MECK" (look it up), is 'Quite A MAN!", what Maugham originally wrote was, "Christ---what a SCREW!"

If the Tea Party Loonies ever take power, we'll have to endure this type of ridiculous censorship once again. Think about it when you're in the voting booth next year.

@liz23clau Great authentic actress plus the extreme beauty to go along with it. Oscar worthy always!

when an actress completely outstages a "star"; Baxter makes Tierney look like a piece of cardboard from the set; is this the same Baxter who overacted so much as Pharaoh's daughter in The Ten Commandments? hard to believe. My dad was in love with Tierney's Laura but I don't like her as an actress

i love anne baxter's voice

[ednuk]

her hair style makes her more beautiful

Although I loved Gene Tierney in this and the rest of the cast -- one of Power's best films of this period -- Anne Baxter was the standout. How can one not watch this film and not love Sophie, and feel empathy and compassion for her pain.
