Fuckin Ruthie, lol
How the HELL did that lady get that part? Musta been a producers wife or something.
Wtf lol
Who?
sharePaul Sorvinos secretary
shareWasn’t she played by a famous actress?
shareNo idea but whoever she was the actress was pretty bad.
You disagree?
I looked it up. The actress was Holly Hunter. It’s been a long time since I saw the firm but I seem to remember she played Gary Busey’s secretary a bit over the top at first but came back down to Earth by the end of the film. I think she was nominated for the best supporting actress Oscar for her performance.
shareThe post asked about Paul Sorvino's secretary, not Gary Busey’s secretary.
shareOh my bad. But that lady was in the film for all of like 15 seconds by my memory. She didn’t even get a chance to give a bad performance.
sharethat is what I recall also
shareuh, not to argue but it was a pretty bad 15 s3econds lol.
she had 2 lines.
don't take my word, you go back and replay her scene then decide for yourself. :)
Ot so over the top affected that it takes you out of the scene
shareFor some reason I thought you were talking about Gary Busey’s secretary played by Holly Hunter. What was so bad about the lady who played Paul Sorvino’s secretary? My memory is she barely had any lines
shareshe had 2 lines. she looked like she was staring into the barrel of a gun at a firing squad line. and her vocal delivery was just weird.
go rewatch that clip and hit me back....
I watched it on youtube last night. Here’s the clip I watched:
https://youtu.be/ikBZK-sG2A8
Her suit was way too large and she has really bad bags under her eyes which emphasized the point you were making that she looks like she got the part via nepotism. What I really noticed was her dopey arm swinging as she walked into the room. Like C3PO from Star Wars. So, now that you called my attention to it, I have to agree
thanks for backing me up. yes that's the clip.
dang, i didn't catch the C3P0 arm thing till you mentioned it but youre right! looks like a kind-of charlie chaplin move, lol. i think he used to swing like that as he entered the stage.
also did you notice the weird eye bulge thing she does at 0:14 of the clip you sent? like she paused between her lines to BUG her eyes at those men as some sort of warning or sabre rattling lol
I’ve got to say you proved your point. Her acting is bizarre.
shareI always assumed she was trying to portray that being a secretary for the mob was exhausting and soul sucking.
Her performance is a bit odd, but I never considered it horrible/bad.
you could be right. it didn't strike me that way but i get what you are saying.
i would say they could've looked for a different way to telegraph that sentiment
You are probably right. It probably could have been done better, but it seems to me to be a very insignificant detail. Perhaps I am missing the larger point.
shareNah. Theres no big point to it. Just a trivial observation. That its odd someone with that (lack of) skill is in an otherwise gangbusters film.
Just humorous to me. Didnt mean for my oost to be taken too seriously.
