I've seen both 8 1/2 and the stage musical and I don't remember Claudia ever being portrayed "ingenue" like. Nicole seems like a perfect fit actually.<BR/><BR/>You're probably right Nathaniel, the reason I thought the character was an ingenue is that they were originally looking at Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley etc. as possible candidates for Claudia, they were going for someone who would suitably be both young and pure. So when Nicole was cast I assume they changed it back again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-41610262914073309642008-11-07T13:16:00.000-05:002008-11-07T13:16:00.000-05:00can we just call it right now? best supporting act...can we just call it right now? best supporting actress 2009: penelope cruz. <BR/><BR/>and jesus, fergie, have a little class. you're not at the gyno-no one here wants to see your london bridge. you must be at the wrong sound stage. i think you're looking for the vampire hooker film...abstewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475102741113713421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1256405861183377412008-11-07T13:10:00.000-05:002008-11-07T13:10:00.000-05:00nerver ever underestimate judi dench i feel she wi...nerver ever underestimate judi dench i feel she will be it's supp actress oscar nom as cruz will win this year and the role is very similar to the one in 9.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
