Geez---I am SO SORRY to hear this...

You know, I'm a flight attendant and I have celebrities on my flights all the time---I have found that the NICEST, MOST POLITE, GENIUNE ones are the really "big" stars. It's those who are "kinda" stars or "new" stars or "fading" stars that are the most arrogant and obnoxious.

Our rule of thumb is "The bigger the star, the nicer they are!" Of course, as in everything, there are exceptions, but this does generally hold true...

I think that's because the really big stars have made it to the top so they can rest somewhat (though not too much) and they don't have to keep up that relentless striving for the brass ring, whatever that may be in their minds. Of course, it may be that niceness that made the stars stars in the first place. And that probably comes through in their performances. I have a cousin who appeared in a few episodes of a soap opera (I think it was General Hospital) and he said that most of the cast members were arrogant and thought it beneath them to speak to a mere mortal such as he. If a soap opera actor isn't the quintessential "kinda" star, I don't know what is. From what I've heard, actors are generally more neurotic than most people, also.

with an ass like Julia's who cares if she is a bitch.

You would if you had been on the other end of one of her tirades. Beauty ain't worth the trouble, my friend!!

Thank you, oh wise Seinfeldian. Your words of wisdom are greatly appreciated in this sacred of all newsgroups. Seriousness, especially in this type of thread , I laugh in your face.

I'm sorry but I'll need more info to believe this one. Could this just be sour grapes on someone's part? If it's true then why does she get along so famously with th Seinfeld cast. They've all said many times that they have a lot of fun together and it hardly seems like "work". And if it IS true then she is truly a great actress off the show "-) Comments anyone?

Eileen

Perhaps she's comfortable with the cast of Seinfeld and her bitchiness only comes out when she's feeling insecure, as may have been the case while making the Woody Allen movie.

If she is such an intolerable bitch, then the "Seinfeld" show must be VERY tolerant to have her back season after season. And even if this is true, then it is a good reason to avoid being enlightened about the castmembers. I've always considered Jerry Seinfeld to be a bit pompous, so I avoid watching him interviewed on television. It detracts from the show for me.

I'd probably be pompous, too if I was him. I enjoy him in interviews. He makes me laugh. ....but I'd rather have dinner with Julia.

I know you're kidding but that's still an asinine comment. Besides, I think she has a funny little body. She looks like a dwarf. OK, not a dwarf, but she does look awfully short.

Are you implying that she has a nice one? Seems like her lower half is always draped or wrapped in something or other, a classic giveaway for wide-butt syndrome. Overall, I find her attractive, but your comment perplexes me.

I don't take light of making fun of dwarfs or short people... I'm 4' 5" tall and I get along just fine!!!!

Can anyone tell me the scene in which JLD appeared in Woody Allen's "Hannah and her sisters"? I've seen it twice (have it on tape :-), but can't recall seeing her in the movie.
