She is such a talented actress. Sadly, they did not cover my two favorite of her roles, “Sarah, Plain and Tall” and “The West Wing.”

  I agree. The ‘Sarah, Plain and Tall’ trilogy was the last time I cared anything about Hallmark movies, and was amazing. And she shone in the West Wing, as well.

Her in 101 Dalmatians is an example of Disney doing a live action remake correctly

  So true! Does the first Pirates of the Caribbean count too? It was technically a ‘remake’ of the theme park attraction!

Great to see her tackling on her career with such a wisdom and sense of humor.
I hope to see Anjelica Huston in a next video.

The way she talks about many of her roles just get me to tears (again and again) throughout this video. It really sounds like she’s proud of each of her characters and truly empatize with them. Now I need to binge watch her career!

She said what I was thinking after watching Fatal Attraction. She is not a villain, she’s the victim of the patriarchal system! She was damaged by her father and she looked for affection only, it was never her purposely hurting the family.
To this day because of this character this is my favorite movie.

What a career she has had. Her portrayal of Cruella deVil will always be a favourite of mine. Emma Stone really has some big shoes to fill. Her performance in Fatal Attraction was just superb that line “I’m not going to be annoyed, Dan!!!” The way she said it was incredible.

She’s didn’t talk about HOOK!
Bro as a kid I kneeeew even through the makeup it was Cruella because I watched the VHS tapes over and over on hundreds of movies
When I saw it I think probably the fifth or tenth time I heard her cry and was like…. Lemme forward to the credits and see.

One of the best actresses ever. 101 Dalmatians live action was my first theater experience and was enthralled with Glenn Close as Cruella . The only actress to be nominated so many times and yet to win. She also plays a brief part in Hook. She was the best in Fattal Attraction. I rented Heights at movie gallery because her face was on it.

One of my favorites of hers, which few know about, is “Paradise Road.” I was also raised with “Sarah Plain and Tall.” My favorite American actress 🙂

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
