What is going on, Brentwood? I know it is rough times out there, but I cannot help but wonder what did occur. With you and your career and stuff. Your daughter should be graduating high school around about now, and you are 55. A very hot 55! We all know women can't open a movie, and it is irritating, even if you are whatever, Megan Fox. But you were making them fork over money for the tickets pretty good for a spell there. And these days your husband isn't really working either! Maybe you are the two people in the world who took my advice: have a good time, make some money, and get the hell out, before it becomes a deadening obsession with the material world. Maybe you are on a beach now. I'm not! Yet you are still retaining Lisa Kasteler as your publicist, and you are still on the CAA list. And I saw you did some odd fashion ad campaign over the winter. Whatever, I liked you in the movies. You always seemed like you were enjoying yourself, you looked like you had a secret. Maybe the movies did not like you in them, though. Stupid movies! Anyway, I was just wondering if you are working on something fun, like maybe some web shorts for the YouTube or maybe a book of poetry. WRITE ME BACK IF YOU WANT.

won't you be my little movie star
won't you be my long lost girl...
And when you kissed Robert Mitchum
Gee, but I thought you'd never catch him
Related: One of my favorite heist scenes of all time.

OMG I'd totally forgotten the agent was Leary!
Still covet her wardrobe from that movie, umpteen years later...
Weren't her clothes great? They were all Celine, when Michael Kors was still the designer there.
WHO ARE YOU?
I still covet her in the beach scene when she had little in the way of wardrobe.
I'm on board the covet train, too. A worthy follow-up to Faye's dreamy Theodora Van Runkle wardrobe.
I think it was that 'ape movie' that killed her. I'd look it up, but well... yeah...
I feel like Renee Russo never found her niche.
Renee Russo: Femme Fatale?
Renee Russo: Comedienne?
Renee Russo: Action Babe?
I mean, it's not like Renee Zellweger, who pretty owns the 'female leads in movies set in the 1920's/30's' market.
Rene Russo's niche was always the girlfriend/wife of big expensive leading man who the studio spent all of the acting budget on. She was recognizable from her modeling days and did not make the guy look sooooo old because she was in the same age range and did not cost a lot because she was never really a big star.
She and Pierce Brosnan should come as a twin set.
She's the sassy tough female to balance out the not-by-the-rules rough male leads that would otherwise seem WAY misogynist if paired with the usual soft, supple Hollywood actress... think, Leathl Weapon 3 an 4, In the Line of Fire, Thomas Crowne, Tin Cup, Get Shorty...
Underminery
Looks as if somebody did his NYT crossword puzzle today.
OMG I did not! That is so odd and eerie that she is a clue!
But do you understand? She is a clue and not an answer.
Blame it on the change in seasons.
Andie MacDowell won't add me on myspace :(
I've met her, kind of frigid. Don't be upset.
I CANNOT STAND ANDIE MACDOWELL DO I HAVE TO STOP LIKING YOU NOW
Gawd you were totally kidding weren't you.
SHE UPSETS ME SO
I was!
SHE RUINS EVERYTHING! Cut-rate Russo is what I call that broad.
Even my mother knows this.
No, wait. I mean - My mother knows this and is vocal about it.
"Is it raining? I hadn't noticed."
HA! "Is it raining I hadn't noticed" is what always pops into my head when I see Andy McDowell. Then my fists clench with rage.
Lee Radziwill added me but Andre Leon Talley did not.
Do we have the 50 year old love interest in The Lost Symbol?
OH. WORD. Paging some producers now!
Bah. Rene Russo is the poor man's Annette Bening.
Just like Kirsten Dunst is the poor man's Natalie Portman. This is the new order, Choire.
You mean the thinking man's Annette Bening!
I always thought she more of the film watcher's female Richard Russo. Maybe with less wit, more tit(s?).
What does that make Sela Ward?
REMEMBER WHEN SELA WARD WENT BLIND IN SISTERS?!
Okay ... so how about Sela Ward as a blind man's Julianne Phillips?
Aaaa Choire please don't hurt me! (p.s. I think you and I have a mutual friend.)
Where am I?
This makes me wonder what IS Laura Kightlinger doing these days? I love me some Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman.
Yes! I can't even find all the episodes online. Where is that show?
Hey, were you wondering this because that movie with Mel Gibson and her was on TV the other night? The one with the kidnapping, where they're rich? Because it was, and during it I said "I wonder what Renee Russo is up to lately", no joke.
Madeleine Stowe unfollowed me on Twitter.
