She's verybrittle. You keep waiting for a differrent expression to form on her face, but it just doesn't happen.
I think she is beautiful and to add to the list of "looks like" I think she looks like Natalie Wood.
But, she just doesn't light up the screen. Even in this new PBS show tih Jeremy Piven, she just has one expression at all times.
I wish she would loosen up a bit on screen.

check her out in Blessed (2009), and come back and let us know how bad of an actress she is.
also little red wagon, and jayne mansfield's car.

I've seen her in a few things, including 'Love and Other Catastrophes' which was early in her career. Have to agree that she has a grating screen presence, and she comes across as overly 'into herself' onscreen. Not impressed with her acting either, even in Mansfield Park.

Of COURSE she deserves the title of "the worst actress ever."
But, she continues to be hired (works cheap?).
So, there will be even MORE opportunities to prove what a horrible "actress" she is.
Her ego is her worst enemy. Perhaps she is the head of her household and has to earn a check, and this is all she is able to do.

I've just seen her in Timeline. Her performance was so bad I just had to come here and let it be known. I've never said this about any actress before but she just might derserve the title of worst actress.. ever.

I think she's pretty good. I've only seen two of her movies (The Importance of Being Earnest and Mansfield Park) but she was fine in both.

I think Frances was good in A.I. but I disagree about this movie was a crap. A.I. is an irregular film, with several flaws (specially the last 20 minutes) but it has many greats moments: 7/10.
Timeline is much worse than A.I. The unique good thing in the movie was Anna Friel..

AI was a crap movie but i thought frances was terrific in iti fell in love with her

I loved her in Thank God he met Lizzie and in Kiss or Kill. Check them out.

so you Are WRONG
Frances
I Worship The Goddess Amber Tamblyn

I agree about Mansfield Park. She fit the role perfectly imho.
Plus that scene with the sister, dang!

slimjim:
This is NOT A FAN CLUB! We are NOT required to "like" any performer. And, we are NOT required to only post opinions that YOU agree with!
She is a horrible (third-rate) "actress" who ruins everything she is in.
Threats and/or pretense do not improve her performances.

I thought Frances O'Connor was exceptionaly good in A.I. A very memorable performance in my opinion. Time-Line was just a bad movieperiod!

i didnt see a.i or timeline but she was fantastic in mansfield park iron jawed angels and piccandily jim

I completely agree! I normally dont bag on people, but she is just plain awful. I could tolerate her in Bedazzled because she's supposed to just "be there" and not do much but she ruins everything else that she is in. I only like the middle part of A.I. partly due to her. THe first half is all her and the last half, as most people already agree on, sucks (and she comes back)

I really have to agree, she is one of the most horrendous actresses I have ever seen. I find her American accent to be painfully fake, her acting wooden, her expressions transparent, and she is very plain looking. There is just nothing good about her, she is a bad addition to any movie.

if yall dont like her at all then dont visit this site

She is the only good thing in Mansfield Park, she saves the movie (along with Embeth Davidz)

You wont loose any sleep purely because it is a bad movie, not because of O'Conner's acting.

Thanks guys, i have been meaning to rent out Timeline on dvd for sometime now, i dont think i will bother spending the money. After reading whats been written here. And im normally the kind of guy who will see it to form my own opinion. Not this time , i dont think i will loose any sleep if i don't see it ,will i ?
