[@shuroom57]

Elaine had a framed photo of a woman from the 1940's in her apartment. I think it was Barbara Stanwyck. I always felt like Julia had a soft spot for that actress and all the noir actresses.

She ruined the show by being pregnant half of the time, which also made her age much faster than the rest of the cast...her pretty looks went out fast lol

[@beemrdon52]

@@vincentmedley5091 so explain WHY do you say that she is underrated. Examples please...

[@vincentmedley5091]

@beemrdon52 first off, my opinion is totally subjective. That being said, my reasons are as follows. As an actor, I think she can play much grittier and tougher roles. That might be indicative of her turning down those types of roles or that she is not being offered them. I also believe that until she does take on grittier roles, she be type cast in strictly comedic roles or a love interest. In my non-expert opinion, someone with her resume should have bigger opportunities. Psychological thrillers, a historic figure etc... Thoughts?

[@beemrdon52]

@@vincentmedley5091 Maybe she doesn't Want to do the " gritty" thing. Why is that important to you? I don't think she has anything to prove, and again, she is not underrated. On the contrary, she is rated quite highly.
