Awesome female actors!

Women I aspire to be like: Catherine Keener, Gilda Radner, and Catherine O’Hara
All these women have something in common, they’re cool, strong bold women in the entertainment industry. They are also some of the few women that I respect as comedians/actors because they have an element of realism in their performances.
Gilda Radner unfortunately passed away from cancer in the 80s and was unable to expand her career much further after SNL. Gilda was the silly girl on SNL, who at the same time could hold the attention of any man in the room.
Keener is a classy dame who I hold adoration toward because she’s so real on camera.
You may be thinking: “Wow Julia, you really want to be a woman who trips up guys with her female sexuality”, but no, I have to contest, it’s not just that. I have to admit my opinion is partially influenced from years of reading Johanna Schneller Globe & Mail columns (she can really write with spunk). I really think there’s more than that bold attitude these women have that makes me want to be with them…I have to say, they’re women with balls, they know what they want, and they know how to use their femininity to get it. They have a good sense of fashion, but they can also play with the big boys as the coined phrase goes. They are able to play their roles smartly and they also have diverse range when it comes to their parts.
Catherine Keener has gone from bureaucratic dominatrix in Being John Malcovich to keepin’ it real mummy in 40 Year Old Virgin, to a humble Harper Lee in Capote.
Gilda Radner, while on SNL, could play bumbling naïve high school girl, to suave socialite, to girl next door in a single episode.
Catherine O’Hara is probably the more underrated of the three women. Most of her roles are in comedy, but she plays everything with heart, and always gets it right.
These ladies have raw energy, which the feed their performances from. What I like about them is that they don’t play up the slutty factor like those femme fatales Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Halle Berry. I have nothing against these women; I just don’t aspire to be like them.
Young women to look out for who fit this classy category: Scarlett Johansson, Maggie Gyllenhaal (note: Scarlett was probably shit-faced when she hosted SNL months ago, but just made it part of the fun, haha).
