Best Actress Birthday Calendar
This page has been up since 2009, so that you can always wish your favorite Oscar-nominated actress good tidings, even if she's no longer
around to hear them. We all know how impossible it is to give an actress too much validation. As a pastime in the new year, however, I will be throwing small parties for some of these gals by viewing a title from their filmographies that I don't already know and offering up a review. Given that I have already seen all of the vehicles that netted their Academy nods—and given, furthermore, that some of the early stars didn't leave a lot of surviving material, and some recent inductees have worked so little it's been easy to see all of it—a few of these names pose stronger challenges than others. But from the vaunted (Fritz Lang! Alfred Hitchcock! Roberto Rossellini!) to the highly dubious (okay, Tower Heist, here we come), I have plenty to look forward to. Swing by some time for one of these mini-fests. If you're dying for me to check out a title that you know will be new to me, I am open to suggestions! Just know that every party will be a surprise. |
