THERE'S MERYL........ AND THERE'S ELLEN BURSTYN

Although I did agree that Mel was a better choice for "BRAVEHEART"......Ellen remains in my top-ten lists of favorite all-around actresses........ "PROVIDENCE", "REQUIEM FOR A DREAM" and "STONE ANGEL" should have placed her, eye-to-eye, with Meryl.......Perhaps it is her lack of Central European accents, for it is not her lack of emotional depth or intellectual prowess...
