Hey, It's That Lady: Redux

You may or may not remember this post. Well, I've got another movie to add to the list. On the plane ride back from Barcelona, I was watching Crazy Heart and lo and behold, it's Beth Grant. She played some random woman in the bar that Bad Blake was playing in, and she flirted with him, and they slept together. And we never heard from her again. She was probably in the movie for three total minutes (her character doesn't even get a last name in the credits).

Her acting resume might be a mile long and spans almost 25 years, but what continues to make her so special is that she's still just "that lady". She never really has important roles. She continues to play roles that are often one step above playing an extra. She must turn down any sort of role that would require her to be on camera for more than 15-20 minutes. Or maybe she's functionally illiterate and she doesn't want too much dialogue...I hope that's not the case, otherwise I'd be an asshole.

How does this woman not just scream "Leading Lady" to you?!
