Okeh, the good news: Acting great Kristin Scott Thomas is getting to be known around the world for her superb acting talents.The bad news: Acting great Kristin Scott Thomas is getting to be known around the world for her superb acting talents.
How can the same event be both good and bad? Quite easily, it turns out.
I have been a huge fan of Thomas (pictured) since 1988 when she made the film "A Handful of Dust" which I saw only because it starred then-hottie Rupert Graves (who I first saw in "Maurice" in 1987). So, like all the great British actors before her, I started watching everything I could find her in fearing that (one day) she would sell out to the lure of riches and glamour in Hollywood.
But (surprise!) she dabbled in Hollywood but continued acting in quality films -- following the footsteps of other British greats Helen Mirren, Rupert Everett, Emma Thompson and (of course) the totally fab Miranda Richardson all of whom eschewed money and glory for acting challenges making the world a MUCH better place in the process.
