The first time I saw this young woman (26) perform was in Girl Interrupted (actually, it was Don’t Say A Word where I really took notice of her). I wasn’t particularly struck by her performance or that something special stood out. Subsequently, I’ve been surfin’ over the last month and came upon her in Just Married and Sidewalks of New York, and found her absolutely adorable. I’m can’t say much for the movies, (I found myself watching them just to watch her) only that she has won me over as one of the most adorable young actresses Hollywood has going (I would include Kate Hudson and Natalie Portman in this category as well). Without question, what draws me to this girl are her eyes (it doesn’t hurt that she is cute as a kitten). In both of those movies her eyes showed the depth of her despair to the exhilaration of being alive. I know it’s been mentioned on this forum about there being nothing behind the eyes of several actors, and I’m not sure if that is true or not because I can’t say I’ve agreed with the performers being criticized. However, this young woman has made me stop and wonder why some of us see something behind certain actors eyes and others see nothing behind those same eyes. Whose eyes send the message or conveys the feeling, *make no mistake, this is real?* What actors eyes melt your heart and/or stir emotional feelings in you as you watch them?
