Thoughts on her?

Just watching ‘I am Ruth’

Great actress. Seems like she'd be a laugh if you knew her.

Were those the sorts of thoughts you're thinking?

TrentCrimm · 11/12/2022 20:22

I think she is a formidable actor.

DillDanding · 11/12/2022 20:22

I'm sure she is very talented, but I saw her on Graham Norton the other night and she was very unlikeable.

LikeTearsInRain · 11/12/2022 20:23

Beautiful woman and a great singer. Heard Greg James play a bit of What If on the radio last week, forgot all about that song.

Breakfastfortea · 11/12/2022 20:24

@DillDanding In what way? A bit uptight and serious?

That's funny. I though 'what if' was terrible and she couldn't sing at all. Great actress though.

MissyB1 · 11/12/2022 20:27

Brilliant actress, loved I am Ruth.

TrentCrimm · 11/12/2022 20:27

I liked her on Graham Norton, tiny bit LA-ish maybe but I laughed at her shitting herself on stage story.

HeddaGarbled · 11/12/2022 20:28

Admire how she’s managed the transition from decorative young actor to respected character actor, which is much much easier for men than women.

KaleToChristmas · 11/12/2022 20:30

Talented, intelligent, beautiful and dignified woman.

TeachesOfPeaches · 11/12/2022 20:30

I always think it's funny that she has 3 kids with 3 different dads and it never gets mentioned yet Kerry Katona and Katie Price get slated for their kids having the same amount of dads.

Murasakispillowbook · 11/12/2022 20:31

I think she's great.

I take it this isn't what you were hoping for, OP?

OwwwMuuuum · 11/12/2022 20:31

I’ve always loved her. She’s my death row dinner party guest/ fantasy older sister really.

magicscares · 11/12/2022 20:32

She’s brilliant. Seems grounded and fairly normal, despite her fame & fortune. I find her to be a great actor.

704703hey · 11/12/2022 20:33

I genuinely don't know much about her! Think she comes from Reading, has a sister, was in Titanic (not the actual ship, obviously) and is married to someone called rocknroller. Or was until he changed his name back.

Rescued Richard Branson's mother from a fire?

This might all be wildly incorrect as it's off the top of my head 🤣

Americano75 · 11/12/2022 20:34

Cracking actress, seems like a nice woman too.

Breakfastfortea · 11/12/2022 20:34

@Murasakispillowbook I wasn’t hoping for anything 🤷🏻‍♀️I haven’t taken much notice/had thoughts about her before, just curious what others were. She’s a great actress for sure

Mildred Pierce is one of my favourite books, and I was gutted when I heard HBO were making it into a mini series as I thought it would be rubbish.
Kate Winslet is unbelievably good in it, just absolutely superb in every scene.

That's probably because she parented them appropriately.

Breakfastfortea · 11/12/2022 20:36

@704703hey That’s the thing, I was just thinking I don’t know much about her at all, just curious what type of person she is.
Did she really save her from a fire 🙈

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/12/2022 20:36

She’s an actress?

dutysuite · 11/12/2022 20:37

I like her

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 11/12/2022 20:37

I really like her as an actor.

Nitgel · 11/12/2022 20:37

She's great, always been a fab actress, love Heavenly Creatures.

I don't think Katie price gets slated for having 5 kids by 3 dads so much as she does for her poor treatment of them, animals, assault charges, drunk driving, harassment, drugs, porn etc
