I¡m just wondering about Tarantino


Since him and Beals are such close friends, how come he never cast her in any of his films, especially in her pre-Bette days when she needed good work?

Well she did star in Four Rooms, in which Tarantino is one of the directors eventhough it was her husband at the time who directed the segment she was in.

She was in 2 segments of 'Four Rooms'. Tarantino directed her in "The Man from Hollywood" arc.

She was good in there, I hope she is in future Tarantino films.

Damn, I still haven't seen Four Rooms (now I must! ), but I would love to see her have a major role in one of Quentin's movie's (as long as the part was right for her, of course).

I agree, she'd be great in a main character role for a Tarantino film. Check out the film, she even said she had a blast doing it.

Here's a weird connection - one of her friends is Jennifer Jason Leigh, who attended the premiere of a 1997 film called Hard Eight. This co-starred Samuel L. Jackson, who JJL acted with in The Hateful Eight.
