Do the Bruce Willis thing and become an action star. Forget comedy...

Didn't Bruce swear off action now ? In moonlighting he was an actor, but never a funny man. But you have to respect him, the way he has often done parts for small independent films besides his blockbusters, he was great in pulp fiction, twelve monkeys, the sixth sense, etc.

Agreed! He's one of my favorite actors, which was somewhat of a surprise to me--I didn't quite realize it until I looked back at all the great (and often daring) films he's been in.

I think that those films can make up for "Armageddon" :-)

She's funny. I think only Lucy and Carol Burnette (maybe) very funnier better. She should stick with comedy. A shame her rep as a prima donna gets her zero parts. What a waste.

Julia is in a class by herself. Lucy was too over the top to be really funny. Carol Burnette's acting wasn't that great. Just watch Julia in every scene, even when she has no lines, she really holds the thing together. Same goes for Jason playing George. They both do the whole range of acting so well, it almost isn't acting.

True - and yet she gets no credit for her talent- again, because of her rep.

Not sure where I've been that I've never heard this before, but from where does Julia L-D get a bad reputation for being (I assume) difficult and/or demanding? Is there a juicy story out there somewhere?

I believe it originated in this newsgroup about a week and a half ago. I've never heard it anywhere else.

She's a bitch in real life, I have been told by a couple of people close to the show.

I dunno, sounds like this information may have passed through the "telephone game" a few times. Who are these "people close to the show", and how well do you know them?

For what it's worth, *everyone* has bad days, especially when working in stressful situations. I'm not saying she's a peach--I really don't have any first-hand info--but I'm always suspicious of rumors. Particularly those that are spread by just a single person and with no supporting evidence--looks like you've gone out of your way to recently post four messages in two different threads calling her a "bitch", a "prima donna", and claiming she has a "notorious attitude" and a "bad rep".

Sorry- but I love Julia, too and believe she's the funniest woman on TV. I actually hope I'm wrong about all of this and that what I've heard is just the product of some jealous, catty gossiping.

Yeah.. I read the story in the Globe. One of the caterers patted her on the butt and she bit his head off.

Bit off his head? You mean, like the wife in T.S. Garp?

I've worked with her several times and she's a dream. I can't imagine a more pleasant, cooperative actress to work with.

Usually, when you meet those people who say they met someone and they were a bitch, once you press them for details, you get a story like, "I approached her in a restaurant. She was feeding her baby and paying the bill and she had just knocked over a glass of water and I asked her for an autograph and she said 'not now.'"

Actors are allowed to have bad days like anyone else. I've never seen J L-D be anything but pleasant. -W.
