» pamela_saint - Calista & Shakespeare Hi Susan,I couldn't help but chuckle when I read your opinion of Calista Flockhart's performance in the recent film version of a Midsummer's Night Dream. I haven't seen the movie, but I did see her, about a year before she hit the big-time on t.v., in a stage performance of Romeo & Juliet. She was dreadful--heaving her little body and breathily exclaiming, "Oh Roo-meeee-oooo." My husband and I were laughing so hard we had to leave. -- posted by pamela_saint » billie0 - Re: Calista & Shakespeare In response to message posted by pamela_saint:Thanks for your comments I don't know, maybe I'm being unfair to her. I think I'm comparing her to Emma Thompson's performance on stage, hers was the best Helena I've seen. Flockhart was just so hyper, she made me hate her character -- posted by billie0 » roslinds - Re: Re: Calista & Shakespeare In response to message posted by billie0:I'll caste my vote for the 1935 version with Mickey Rooney and Olivia de Havilland... somehow Folkhart, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kelvin Kline just haven't got IT ( SHAKESPEARE ) Thanks Classical Diva -- posted by roslinds
