Fascinating Film Femmes
February 17th 2010 07:00
In life, there is a notable distinction between beautiful and sensuous, agreeable and challenging, engaging and captivating. But when an actor is blessed with a sensuous, challenging and captivating spirit, the effect is magnified, as it imbues the characters they portray.
Some actors are merely on film, others have true screen presence. They have that je ne sais quoi, an evocative magnetism that is at once so difficult to grasp and yet impossible to deny.
Consider these ladies of the silver screen:
Would Holly Go Lightly have the same bizarre charisma if played by Anne Hathaway? Would Ruth Wilson’s Jane Eyre have soul if Sandra Bullock took the role? Could Bai Ling play with fire like Tang Wei? Would Mogambo be still appeal with Jennifer Aniston in the jungle instead of Grace Kelly? The may have some superficial similarities, but they can’t all enthral their audience.
Actress versus enchantress – who charms you?
