I was just watching JJL in Palindromes and was wondering why she never got her due. Do you realize she has never even been nominated for an Academy Award? That's unbelievable. She was brilliant in everything she did but wasn't in a lot of big movies. I found a website that listed 20 big roles she turned down so apparently that was part of the problem. Still I think she's the most underrated actress of all time. I don't think anyone in the movie industry would disagree. It was really nice to see there is someone else out there who agrees that she's underrated.
