Bujold was really outstanding in this film and I expected a long career from her but she has apparently fallen off the face of the earth like a lot of other talent from the 70's and 80'sanybody know what happened to her?

Maybe she got old (by Hollywood standards, not mine.) Seriously, how many 40+ women do you see around compared to men in that age group? It seems like women go from being a sex pot to disappearing for a decade or so, then coming back as grandma and/or crazy older lady.
Except for character actors. Those women seem to be allowed to age on screen.

Echo all positive comments about Bujold. Catch her performances in Anne of the Thousand Days, Obsession and Dead Ringers. While you believe her as the character she's playing, she always radiates the intelligence and passion that distinguish her as an actress.
I understand that very intelligence and passion have made her rather a diva. She has a reputation of being difficult to work with. Also, she took projects that interested her vs. ones that would've advanced her career. Those two factors no doubt contributed to her not becoming a bigger star. -

If Michael Douglas has one more face lift But Bujold is still working. I just noticed a film here (NYC) in which she is playing. It looks to be an independent, but I'm not positive. Really there is only so far most actresses can go in the big Hollywood films after a certain age (sadly).

Did we see the same movie?
I know nothing of her career and don't recall ever having seen her in anything else, so I cannot comment on her overall abilities.but her performance in this movie was TERRIBLE!
I didn't have a problem with the movie as a whole but I found her performance to be completely wooden, stiff, and devoid of any emotion or depth whatsoever. (Yes, I realize that was part of her characterbut c'mon! She was a robot!)
There weren't any really great performances from anyone but hers was hands down the worst of the lot.
But I suppose that's just my opinion.. -

naw her performance was perfect for her character. did u watch the film from the beginning? unless u watch it from the start u might not find her character likable because she is quite cold. she was damn sexy tho.
