She's an incredible actress. Fully deserved her Oscar. 👏👍

[@bcole1637]

she seems cool as hell, someone you can just sit back and chill with talking about everyday life things

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

MacDormand and Rockwell are so good in the film it's actually shocking to see their normal personas.

[@AA-qb7ni]

I love how she doesn't wear makeup. She is beautiful.

[@everythingmatters6308]

What a breath of fresh air to see a Hollywood actress without makeup. A real woman, not fake.

[@JSavo_]

One of the greatest actors of all time.

@@ruly8153 don't be fooled, she's just straight to the point salt of the earth woman. I know women like that and I understand why they can come off that way though

[@Freserer]

I like her over a big half of the entire Hollywood Oscar-winning actresses (Maryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Jenifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts etc). Frances McDormand seems so natural, down to Earth and honest in explaining her emotions.

[@serggarcia2010]

*Frances is crazy talented! I love her!*

[@angelacarleton9575]

When we think of good actresses we always think automatically of Meryl Streep but we forget there are a lot of actresses like "Frances McDormand" that can do the job even to the point changing who she is by different accent from "Raising Arizona" to Marge, Chief of Police in "Fargo." She completely stunned me by her accent and mannerism that took this film to a different level - I knew then - she would win the "Oscar" and the second "Oscar" in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." She is just amazing!

She was great but Sam had one of the best performances I've ever seen

[@mouhammadbeiraqdar9183]

She's just a wonderful human being and actor. Loved her in Olive Kitteridge as well!

[@geatorella]

First time I saw her was in the '80s in a movie called Chattahoochie where she co-starred with Gary Oldman. She was riveting and I loved her look - she was so real in a way that eclipsed any other working actress I'd ever seen. And the more I watch Fargo (never get tired of it) the more I'm blown away by what she did with that part.

She is so intelligent!

[@goodygoody7042]

Thank God this talented woman stays natural, she is so right about that (excuse me but it's really hard to watch and believe those puffy-faced actresses, you just stop watching them). I loved the movie!

[@freyamccullough8326]

Goody Goody But people don’t change their appearance because they’re so comfortable with themselves. They do it because their self esteem is destroyed when they’re told through words, actions and perceptions that their value is in how they look.

what a wonderful interview. it was delightful to watch.

[@jacobmorris4053]

I especially appreciate her dedication to storytelling. “We don’t sell watches, perfume, cars..” She maintains the integrity of the story by not selling out. You see this less and less these days..

Looks closer to 40 than 60!

[@willrucker6973]

Hmm. She very much looks 60 to me haha.

[@virtualsnake1994]

i know 40 year old women that looks worse than her. her face didn't necessarily age that greatly but in general she looks really healthy. i'm also glad she stayed natural

[@willrucker6973]

Oh for sure! Frances looks absolutely beautiful for her age. All I was saying is she definitely doesn't look like she's 40.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

I better hope she's getting a 2nd Oscar

I could buy that Mildred is younger than 60. Frances could still pass for 50-something and Mildred is an abuse victim who lost her daughter, that shit'll age you.

[@kathleen4376]

Real artists.

[@bobh.9035]

Charlie's a treasure, even if he messed up. Who else have we had with his intelligence and sensitivity who could bring groups of other gifted people together for this kind of discussion. No-one, so far as I know. He should never have been "executed" for his "crime". I hope he makes it back somehow....And Frances is a national treasure also. May she go on forever....

[@dannytallman3022]

This actress may have done pretty well in Madeline (1998), but she definitely pulled it off in Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted!

[@RYN988]

There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that?

[@merimmm]

justice, much larger than revenge... I liked it much

[@Susieq26754]

Her anger is totally justified, I love Francis's role in this movie. She is one bad ass mama. The scene at the end when she and the cop go after her daughters murderer is great. Because she changes her mind about getting revenge on the guy. I think the cop just acknowledging that it happened and was willing to go after the guy who did it, was enough for her. Police need to stand up and be our defenders. Fight crime man! It's not too late to change. You would want someone to defend your sister or daughter, if it happened to them. But women, don't throw explosive cocktails through windows. You could go to jail.

[@celtglen]

Frances; you want to play a cowgirl? Check out Olivia Press for stories and scripts. I'd love it!

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

Frances is so smart, it's gotta be a challenge, especially as women get older, to not patronize the perpetually adolescent male sensibity, regardless of craft. Sam looks like he's with her but maybe they are both kinda keeping an eye on the paycheck. Well, maybe a teeny bit. Lol.. But that might just be me.

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

Why has the intro been edited out? Who's Frances McDormand? What's "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."? I'm not interested in Joe Blow's ramblings about something I've never heard of.

[@lisad2701]

Frances McDormand won an Academy Award for Best Actress in the movie "Fargo". If you haven't heard of the movie Fargo, disregard this reply.

Charlie is lucky that his disgusting behavior came to light just a few days after this interview otherwise Frances would have punched him in the face. Talk about timing!

nope. just google charlie rose + sexual harassment and see for yourself.

He's apologized and admitted them, claims he thought all those young women wanted it. He's finished. Good riddance, the guy has a massive ego, wouldn't shut up and wouldn't ever ask a tough question.

[@dougpiranha3619]

So you got out of there unharassed, Frances?

[@dlxmarks]

Ah. The last Charlie Rose upload to KZbin and good riddance to him and his weak show. I never understood why PBS gave so much airtime to someone who was always barely prepared and asked the most banal questions.

[@dlxmarks]

Wow. Posting another business as usual video shows how tone deaf they are. Almost as tone deaf as Charlie claiming that he thought he had "pursued shared feelings" with these women. Because what 21 year old female intern would want to see a naked 70+ year old man?

[@hus390]

He was actually a good interviewer.

You’re 60, so what. You don’t have to look 80. Put a little makeup on and look fresh.

[@femaleskater1185]

[@MexlycanFilmico]

Her acting was good, but it was too lesbian too macho tough girl, those things take out the sentimental and faith out of the film. She should have portrayed a normal grief hurt woman.
