I did indeed see her in "Tightrope," in the theater when it was released. I've been trying to find that one again because lately I've been on a Clint (and Genevieve) kick.
She is a tremendously versatile actress who, in spite of her intense beauty, still seems very approachable and real. She has sophistication, charm and profound talent. How I love this woman!
She is incredible in Tight Rope and Coma. She is very versatile. She can take any role and own it. -

I couldn't forget her topless nun opposite Christopher Reeve in MONSIGNOR. But I feel that Coma is undoubtedly her best work, and a most stimulating shower indeed.

I first discovered her in Alan Rudolph's Choose Me (1984), where she plays Dr Nancy Love. Superb actress, unique and intense.
She's also quite memorable in a small role in Rudolph's Trouble In Mind.
Both worth seeking out if you admire her work. -

Um no LorriePaige.
So many actresses are FAR WORSE in EVERY freaking capacity compared to the DIVINE Ms. Bujold these days it's ridiculous. Movies today are so personalized and catered to a specific audience. They are written so that every shot will be a close up that will register on netflix and amazonprime and the whole atmosphere is lost. Same thing with actors. It may seem like the actors are better because every shot is a close up - but what about the actor AND the scene? Genevieve was surrounded by REAL corpses (extras) and made us believe that such a catastrophe within the realms of the hospital politics COULD exist. She was that brilliant.
There is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I cannot stress it enough that there is NO actress today that could pull off in any capacity what Ms. Bujold was able to do. Stupid audiences and stupider movies that cannot accessorize for anything and certainly don't allow the liberty for story that make such magical things possible
You are wrong LorriePaige - it is the joke of young actresses today that have missed out and will NEVER have the opportunity to display there talent (or lack thereof) in the brilliant cinematic way that Ms. Bujold did. -

She was making French films before and has been doing same since Coma, Tightrope, and any other English speaking films. She is still working, but only in French films, from what I've seen. Obviously, she is fluent in multiple languages.
