how in the WORLD did the blonde lady from CASINO get nominated for an OSCAR for her acting over Kathy's amazing performance in this classic? Oh, that's right, the blonde is smokin' hot.

Bates was robbed. She is literally - phenomenal in her portrayal as this disgruntled bitter and hard working mother of her daughter who had a tortured childhood.

Kathy Bates, JJ Leigh, Christopher Plummer and Ms. Prafitt have such a perfect chemistry in their roles in this film they should have won awards together. The characters are so rich and they play their roles with excellent subtext. They could have walked into another script and continued in their roles and it would ahve been believable.

hotgirlsarehot, you are in for one hell of a film. Leigh and Bates are UNBELIEVABLE in this movie.
