have you seen this former beauty lately.
if not then you need to see the
absolutely fabulous episode called book club
from season 5
if you have seen it and didn't know who she was,
see was the one called plum. she is doing yoga
on the floor.
she has really lost that look.

She has just gone through a divorce from her French doctor husband and is dating some guy 13 years her junior and is living back here in the UK!!

The last I heard from her professionally si that shes filming a comedy or something!!!

Thats all I know!!!

That movie she did with Harrison Ford was on TV not too long ago. The one where both their spouses were having an affair, and the only reason they found out is because the spouses died in a plane crash on their way to a rendezvous. It had its good parts, but it was mostly boring.

That was 'Random Hearts'. I've seen that film--not her best. Another odd American one was 'The Horse Whisperer' with Robert Redford and Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett is only like 12 years old or something in that one. And then there's 'Life As A House' with Kevin Kline and Hayden Christensen. Hayden plays Kristin's character's goth-rebel son. It took me forever to realize he was the same actor as in the Star Wars films.

All those movies are mediocre at best. 'Gosford Park' was really good though. I haven't seen any of her films after that one.

'Keeping Mum' opens at cinemas here tomorrow.

The best film I've seen her in is 'Angels & Insects'. That one is excellent.

Yes, I absolutely ADORE that movie. I wish KST had more scenes there. I, also, think she was great in Gosford Park. She's still a beauty.

sextonseven said:

I'm probably entirely wrong but I always get the impression that KST gets the kind of roles that Emma Thompson might have been offered when she was younger, or the ones she turns down. lol (I seem to recall reading that Emma Thompson turned down The Horse Whisperer).

Btw, The English Patient and Four Weddings And A Funeral are other interesting places to see KST in action.

There were great performances all around in 'Gosford Park'. Wasn't Ryan Phillipe Kristin's boy toy in that movie? That may have been her last film to open in the U.S. unfortunately.

jtfolden said:

Although the story is a bit melodramatic, I love 'The English Patient'. (And not just because you can see Kristin nekkid )

Have you seen her in Roman Polanski's 'Bitter Moon'? Like in 'Four Weddings', she co stars with Hugh Grant.

another movie nobody mentioned:

it was a HBO movie and it's called "Framed"

she played Jeff Goldblum's wife or girlfriend, i can't remember.

avatarfunk said:

I haven't seen that one.

The first post-Under The Cherry Moon performance by Kristin that I saw was the Masterpiece Theatre 'Body And Soul' episodes. After watching those, I started looking for all her other work.

sextonseven said:

Hmm, Bitter Moon looks familiar but I don't remember ever seeing it. I'll have to see if I can track it down. Thanks!

avatarfunk said:

I vaguely remember that movie. In fact, I caught the very end of it on TV not too long ago. It appeared to be just as bad as I remembered. LOL

She was also in The Horse Whisperer.. a pretty awful movie from like 5-8 yrs ago.

altavista said:

Yeah, we covered that one. Scarlett Johansson as a 12-year old is the one notable thing about it.

Kristin also had a small part in the first 'Mission Impossible' film. That was the only reason I went to see it.

Currently working hard as ever and getting rave reviews from the critics in her current West End theatre role.

sextonseven said:

Yes, and what the hell were they thinking by killing her off so quick! She has such an expressive face that just about everyone else in that film looked as animated as shop window dummies.

jtfolden said:

That's like when Samantha Morton appeared in 'Minority Report'. Or Tilda Swinton in 'Vanilla Sky'. Tom Cruise somehow gets really talented actresses to appear in his films. I'm sure Cate Blanchett must have co-starred with him at some point.
