Has anyone noticed that this woman has talent, not just good looks?

I don't know about the talent part first hand, but I bumped into her last night in west hollywood. A friend and I had to go pick up a frame he ordered for one of his posters and she was there picking a frame up also. She looked a bit freaky, I haven't watched much of the show, but I have seen a couple of episodes and she doesn't look anything like she does on the show. My friend said she looks like she's had some sort of face work done, cause when people do have face work done they look a bit warped in real life. But I think she does look hot on the show, guess camera's do lie. She was also shorter than I thought she would be, and her breast's didn't seem to be that large for someone with her frame, so I don't know if they were real or not.

I'm with you on this ororomunroe. I'm no expert on actors or actresses, or on cameras "lying", but I can't see how you can fake good acting. I am always impressed with her portayal of T'Pol. I think she is fabulous in this part. T'Pol is a complex character, and I can't imagine anyone else but Jolene as her. The scene with T'Pol fighting back the tears as her mother died in her arms is an excellent example. I am fascinated with the character of T'Pol and much of it has to do with Jolene's superb acting talent.
I'm also glad to see the improvement in T'Pol's appearance since the first season. In the first season, her hair was bad, and her bust was ridiculously "pumped up". But now, her new hair is much more natural looking, as is her overall appearance. Enterprise seems now to be taking better advantage of Jolene's acting talent, and not just using her as the "Vulcanbabe". -

I'll tell you what. I just got finished watching the interview on the Late Late show from the week after she got married. When you see her real personality, I'm incredibly impressed with her performance as a vulcan on Star Trek. Amazing.

She's the most well defined female character in any of the series. She acts extremely well with her eyes. Her graceful, catlike, ultrafeminine body language works extremely well as a counterpoint to the rather sullen Vulcan stereotype.

She was in Playboy? Cool.
As for Jolene's acting, of course, she's excellent, I love Enterprise and she brings such a strong character to the show, played excellent without fault..well, she wanted to bang Trip, i'm not too fond of that but
Grrr, you underestimate my

I think the jury is still out on her actingone of the biggest complaints about Enterprise was something I had a problem with as well: The way T'Pol behaved as a Vulcan was good some times, ridiculous others. The one sidenote to that, is whether or not that was what she was TOLD to do.I remember her complaining about inconsistent Vulcan characteristics on the show in an interview, so it may well not have been her fault.
Off the top of my head, I can think of several instances when she was full-on emotionalsomething not even the "HALF-Vulcan" Spock would do. Also, I remember her being man-handled by an average human male, when a Vulcan female should be at LEAST as strong, if not moreso. Then that whole thing with Tripp was handled pathetically at times.again, not consistent with a Vulcan, and maybe another thing she was complaining about considering her being a fan of Spock/TOS.
In other roles, its been mixed. I only saw PART of Slow Burn so I dont know for sure yet on that one, but from what Ive seen so far she seemed pretty good. I thought she was awful on StarGate in her guest roles though. I guess Ill have to watch the rest of Slow Burn, and that we'll see as time goes on whether she has true acting chops or not! -

I wanna be true: in the beginning I didn'find good her acting (I watched the italian dubbed version) but when I got the dvd box and watched the original version I noticed many differences in the acting: but aboveall her strong dramatic performances in The Seventh, Bounty, Impulse and I realised that Jolene is a beautiful woman and a very talented actress.
An actress does what the director wants and not what SHE wants:I mean good movies and111c good roles=good acting; bad movies and bad roles the actress, even if is very talented, does what she can.
