She is a great actress, wears what she wants, looks great and seems to be really sorted.

Completely agree - i love that she can do the Queen and Bellatrix Lestrange and be totally convincing at both.

She is possibly my secret girl crush

squeakytoy · 23/04/2012 08:50

I think she is fantastic... when my hair is longer I have been told I look a bit like her as my dress sense can be rather errrr quirky!... and I definately take it as a compliment! Grin

takeonboard · 23/04/2012 08:51

I agree HBC is great. A real english eccentric!

Codandchops · 23/04/2012 08:52

I wish she would smile occasionally in her interviews though. Comes across as so serious and arty it's off putting. Shame as I think she is fab.

theressomethingaboutmarie · 23/04/2012 08:52

I think she's amazing. She dances to her own tune, isn't bothered by 'celebrity' and is a real individual. What wonderful examples she and Tim Burton are setting for their children.

northernmonkey · 23/04/2012 08:54

She is absolutely fantastic!!
Always thought she was and she really is a woman who inspires me. (especially as she makes her husband live in the house next door) Grin

Bambino81 · 23/04/2012 09:00

Love her!

Tim Burton tho, I watched a (prob old) interview with tim burton and johnny depp on the Jonathan Ross show, and tim burton is..... Strange. I knew he would be, his films reflect a certain wonderful strangeness, but I found him uncomfortably strange?

Here's a clip of it

Bloodymary · 23/04/2012 09:05

Haha, yes I also love the fact that she makes her husband live next door.
Very civilised.

noddyholder · 23/04/2012 09:06

I like her too she is great.

OlaRapaceFru · 23/04/2012 09:16

YANBU. I sat next to her in a restaurant once, years ago. She was very un-sleb, in fact I think most people didn't even realise she was there, she was just having a quiet lunch with a friend.

Wasn't there a rumour a year, or two, ago that she might be a MNer?

Lottapianos · 23/04/2012 09:20

Love her too. She's a wonderful actor and a real beauty. And comes across as a lovely person too, fabulous quirky dress sense and all!

Kayano · 23/04/2012 09:21

A room with a view! I love her in everything

Agincourt · 23/04/2012 09:25

is that rufus wainwright song a joke?

I imagine it's supposed to be high brow, but really??

Mrsrobertduvall · 23/04/2012 10:19

I love Rufus.
Rufus does Judy....amazing.
Although I imagine he's a "difficult"person.

DandyDan · 23/04/2012 10:20

She's fabulous apart from the fact that she and Tim are very close chums with Cameron: very disappointing.

IwoulddoPachacuti · 23/04/2012 10:21

I think she is fab too - I love everything she has been in

tryingtoleave · 23/04/2012 10:22

Don't her children live in another house too? I find that off putting, despite loving her on film.

Mrsjay · 23/04/2012 10:23

I think she is a fruit loop Grin she is fab though DD2 loves her and bellatrix lestrange is her idol Hmm

SardineQueen · 23/04/2012 10:34

Yes she is super Smile

KisMittz · 23/04/2012 10:42

She is fab and she is going to play me in the film about my life!

MrsBovary · 23/04/2012 10:45

Yes, also think she's wonderful!

Henwelly · 23/04/2012 10:45

Love her, my brother met her once and said she was just lovely.

Bue · 23/04/2012 10:47

trying no I am pretty sure her children live with her. But their houses are in fact adjoined by an inside door so I'm sure they just go between. She's explained it in interviews before.

squoosh · 23/04/2012 10:48

Yeah being best chums with the Camerons kills it for me. They even went on holiday together.

Badly done, Tim burton, badly done.
