The Officlal Gena Rowlands Es Morte Thread

Incredible talent - but not a kind of talent that we respond to much anymore
The writer of the article mentioned her performance in Night on Earth. I’d completely forgotten that was her (even though I remember the actor being much stronger than scene partner Winona Ryder)
She was amazing in Opening Night but also disappeared into the role
A Woman under the Influence might be the only role she STOOD OUT in - that’s not a knock- it’s an essential quality of repertory theater to know how to calibrate your performance and let the story play
We see this a bunch with character actors but never in leads anymore
Anyway RiP to a great talent
