Rediscovery
Every now and then I'm reminded of how beautiful Virginia Madsen really is. Like most women I find attractive, she is not what some would call stunningly beautiful, or supermodel beautiful; rather she has a unique, fully human quirk to her beauty. Sure, her eyes are stunning and she has a fabulous smile. Better yet, though, there's a genuine person behind the face, and that life is her true beauty.
As I write this, I'm watching Creator, in which she plays a neatly pivotal part in the main plot and a sub plot. Seeing this film for the first time is probably when I first saw her, and I thought she was gorgeous. And she remains so today. Hard to believe she's my age. Probably the best that she has looked was in Ironclads. Just about any woman looks good as a southern belle, but she was the epitome. She's now in Sideways, and as I mentioned in a post from earlier this month, I may have to go see that movie just because of her.
