Wish she had taken that role in Games of Throne! Fantastic show which would have been perfect for her

[FranklyMyDear777]

Reminds me of Meryl Streep...classy, intelligent, and amazing theater background. Wish there were more projects for her. = )

Shes similar to Gillian Anderson in the way that she changes her accent! Sometimes she speaks British like in this video but then in her tony award 2007 she goes American! Trans-atlantic weirdness haha

One of the rare times all five women deserve to win. What great company to be in.

@Kybeline:

I rather thought her the most excellent Elizabeth Bennet ever. Perhaps if the library on your Anabaptist compound were larger, you'd realize that the costumes for the BBC's P&P were meticulously researched and absolutely appropriate for the era. Her acting was fantastic - certainly better than Keira Knightley's anemic/anorexic screen presence.

Wow he mom is the grandma from spidermans movies? What a small world!

Best Elizabeth Bennett ever, I hope she doesn't come to crappy Hollywood though.

[Kybeline]

I wonder why. I think her the worst Elisabeth Bennett ever. She looks like a porn queen with too large breast, the neck line is always too low. She is anything else but never the Elisabeth Bennett described by Jane Austen. Her manners are bad, her eyes, her acting - everything.

Actually both she and jane Bennett are worst casting possible!

I saw The Real Thing with her on Broadway. I can't believe it's been a decade. One of the best plays I've seen. I own the script now and when I read it I am continually blown away by Tom Stoppard's writing.

Beautiful Jennifer!! I'm going to see this play in London next year! Can't wait!!!
