I adore Ileana Douglas. I don't know what it is about her.

She's oddly gorgeous, and she's a liberal. She even emceed an event for the leftist Ukeleles For Sanity group--the Farewell To Dubya Party in New York City.



And, of course, she's currently Federico's love interest on Six Feet Under. I laughed my head off last week when she told him, "You're such a goddam cute little fucker."

Have you heard much about her? She's fabulous, isn't she?

I got to meet Frances Fischer (Strawberry Alice from the film 'Unforgiven') while I was in LA. She's another of this caliber, and another good liberal.

She's starring in Dummy right now with Adrien Brody. Here is a link to her complete filmography:

that nicole kidman about the psych0- ambitious weather-gal movie "to die for".
she has the last laugh in that one.
she was also in the remake of cape fear, unfortunately her face gets bit off by robert dinero. i think grace of my heart was her only big role though.

i saw her out w/ scorcese back when they dated, and i thought she was just stunning in person.

and, to keep from being busted by the local cops, they pretend to be choreographers for young dancers. She's the dance teacher and she falls in love with one of the prisoners.

It's really hilarious.

forgot all about it somehow.

It's the eyes that do it for me.

why either.ifc today had one of her movies on..she was a songwriter in the early sixties.

Starring in the movie. It's pretty good--she's such a fantastic actor.

and matt dillon is the cutest psycho quasi-beachboy in it...

was a pleasant surprise. Whether her relationship with Rico goes anywhere is still up in the air, for me atleast.

"The traditions of old-fashioned melodrama are given a hip facelift in this homage to the Brill Building era (the late 1950s to the early 1970s) of pop-music glory, providing a perfect match between writer-director Allison Anders and her excellent cast. Illeana Douglas plays a singer-songwriter (loosely modeled after Brill recording artist Carole King) whose life runs emotionally parallel to popular music trends. John Turturro is a stand-in for "wall of sound" producer Phil Spector and Matt Dillon is a thinly disguised version of maverick Beach Boy Brian Wilson. It's a bit too schematic in the way the central character is always in the right place at the right time, but as a tale of fame and romantic highs and lows in the '50s and '60s the movie is funny, touching, and sincere. It's a lively and loving tribute to timeless music and the colorful characters who created it."

It's that Catherine Keener/Fran Drescher ethnicity.... so gorgeous.

Yeah,I like her too.

I think she played a lawyer, but I don't really know.

He's with the angels now. :)

an African American college student. It was so easy to figure out that he was a troll.

But I certainly miss his PMs of admiration. :D

From his first post I read I smelled at rat. A big white one.

that brain . . .

:loveya:

Never knew her politics. It's great that she's a lefty! :-)

DIRECTORS’S NOTE:
"The decision to collaborate on this ad for Move On was an easy one to make. I have always been willing to fight for the guy or gal who was looking out for the rights of as many of us as possible regardless of class, race and gender. The guy who's in there now doesn't fit that bill, so I'll do whatever I can to throw as much support as I can at the sound opposition."

-- Allison Anders
Director: ALLISON ANDERS
Producer: JOSH PORTER
FEATURING: Ione Skye, Illeana Douglas, and W. Earl Brown
Adapted From: "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" by Al Franken
Executive Producers: Liz Manne, Steve Oakes, Susan Holden, Richard Winkler, and David Starr

THE ISSUES BEHIND THIS AD:
BUSH/CHENEY TAX CUTS

The Bush/Cheney tax cuts of the last four years have cost most Americans dearly.

America is now running record deficits, and budget cuts mean increased fees for working-class Americans. Meanwhile, the tax burden is now carried by the middle class. And it's all so that the top 1% of earners could pay an average of $59,292 a year less in taxes in 2004 than they did in 2000.
