I love Julia Ormond. She is that rare package of stunning classic beauty, and filled with talent to the ears. Sadly, this gem of an actress has been invisible for years. As a matter of fact, back in 2003 I wrote the following article about her… wondering where the hell she went:
In the mid 90’s Julia Ormond was as hot a commodity as Julia Roberts ever was. From 1994 to 1995 she appeared in three hit films in a row that got her the public’s attention and critical acclaim. Legends of the Fall, First Knight and Sabrina (which was my personal favorite of the three) where all released within 20 months of each other and it looked like this talented and stunningly attractive actress was going to be Hollywood’s ‘it’ girl for years to come.
Then, inexplicably, she just disappeared. It’s not as if she was in a series of films that did poorly at the box office which caused her star to fade. She just dropped off the face of the earth as far as movies are concerned.
I’m still not sure where she’s been, or why she disappeared so quickly, but according to the good folks over at MovieHole she’s back in the Che movie project:
The “Legends of the Fall” beauty will co-star alongside Benicio Del Toro in “Che”, Steven Soderbergh’s biopic on the Latin American Political revolutionary. Ormond will give life to a female reporter in the film, currently shooting in the Big Apple. The film also stars Javier Bardem, Ryan Gosling, Franka Potente, Benjamin Bratt and Alex Manette.
THis is great news. I’m suddenly really interested in this project. I hope she’s back for good.
