Tin's pretty much spot on about this one, altho his criticism about Lange is pretty harsh, especially

As a film actress, she mainly acted in unseen films, though she garnered, I think, 4 Oscar nominations. It may - tinear 14:21:05 05/19/12 (10)
be cruel, but I think Lange is the Madonna of film: she married exciting guys and used them to her best career advantage. Baryshnikov and Sam Shepard were Hollywood icons, to the artsy-crowd, and she hand-picked art-film roles. However, I always thought her acting appeared too heavy-handed, never a surprise--- unlike her contemporaries Streep, Winger, or Clayburgh (I'm partial to Jill because she was a dead-ringer for an ex-fiancee....) who brought excitement, suspense, and truth.
- OK, I get it. It seems yer criticism of her has more to do with the regard in which she's held. - Road Warrior 20:58:26 05/19/12 (7)
  if she has truly been hailed as one of our great actresses I'd tend to agree, and re-reading yer original post, that seems to be what you imply. But, what a great run she had at the beginning of her career eh?

    years.
    I have a nasty secret: if an actress doesn't appeal to me, I just can't appreciate her much, especially in romantic roles. I'm not alone, before you hammer me. If looks were inconsequential for dramatic actresses, the long history of beauty wouldn't be.
    - Kinda like Jane Fonda'[s best role was in Barbarella. All downhill after that! - Road Warrior 15:08:21 05/20/12 (2)
      Somea actresses can overcome their "look" with pure force of acting will, but yea, I got a thing about an actresses look as well. Altho I happen to like the younger Jessica Lange look. She was smokin the screen up in Kong and Postman. The Grey Gardens look? Not so much.

        Forgot to mention Susan Sarandon in the group of very good actresses from this country, though I never liked her much.

        One of the great campy, trippy as shit, B movies of the late 60s. I'd seriuosly like to catch it again, it's been 20 years since the last viewing.
        
        Far better than her brother's The Trip.
        
        Yes, Sarandon has done some great acting. Her world weary performance in T&L was awesome. Thought she was hot til about 10 years ago, then, something happened.......
