Virginia Madsen


Happy Birthday to

Virginia Madsen

49 today


Not many reformed scream queens go on to pick up Oscar nominations, but Virginia's performances in both Candyman (screamy) and Sideways (awardy) weren't ordinary by any stretch. Next up is Red Riding Hood (I may be the only guy over 11 looking forward to that) where she plays the titular fairy tale heroine's mother.

I could never join the hype that surrounded her nomination for Sideways. but maybe i need to see the film again. She looks nice, she looks good, but she was nowhere near Oscar that year.

I always forget what the rest of the competition was on any given year. I do quite like her performance but you're right is one of those ones that I like but don't understand the hype.

I think I found Sandra Oh more watchable in Sideways.
