And I can't quite put my finger on who...

She was absolutely amazing and had me in a trance. And the whole time while watching this, I kept trying to figure out who she reminded me of. At first, I kind of thought maybe Olivia Wilde, but no...that's not it. At times she reminded me a bit of Bette Davis...but no, it's not her either...

What famous women does she look like or remind you of?

I agree i thought Joan Crawford was really good in this, not that I have seen many of her movies before.

I'm sure no one will agree, but in a way her performance reminded me of Kat Dennings from the TV show 2 broke Girls.

You know... The more I think about it, the more she DOES remind of Kat Dennings. That might be who I was thinking of. She certainly fits better than anyone else.

I'm not a fan of 2 Broke Girls, but I LOVE Kat Dennings in just about everything else she does. She's hilarious, but 2 Broke Girls reduces her to a slutty joke.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see a likeness.

I don't mind 2 Broke Girls, as it can be funny in a dumb cringe worthy way, but yeah it's a show I do wonder why I watch, as it is very dumb.

I kept thinking it was Loretta Young.

She just reminded me of Joan Crawford sans eyebrows.
