Filed Under: FilmeDiscussion: C[1]mments
Originally I wanted to present my top 5 women only to find out that it was really a top 28 and that even to get to that top 28 I’d have to cut some. At first I was positive I could cut them down to at least 7. You know, make a list of 5 and then mention 2 more, because they deserve it. But there’s simply too many women and when I try to kick one off the list she comes up with several good reasons for me to keep her on the list and when I tell her she can stay, you bet another one shows up and jumps up and down and demands to be on the list and who am I to refuse her the right to be on my list?
So, I decided to do a series of posts on my women and there won't be any ranking, because to rank them would be, oh dear Lord, impossible. But you will notice that there are the 10 most important ones, I will gush on and on about them and the 10 I wouldn't die without, even though really I would.
Without anything else to add I present you the first 5.
Meryl Streep
She's my one and only that I will always reserve the first spot for, simply because she's all kinds of brilliant. Whether it be during her interviews where she's marvellous and most of the time bloody hilarious or as an actress, where she's simply brilliant, I love that woman to bits. She's also beautiful, 61 and keeps on going making films, receives nomination after nomination and even proved several times that she can sing. A nice little jewel, you should watch, if you like her is Prairie Home Companion. And of course, my favourite role is her as Miranda Priestly, the Devil wearing the Prada. Of course Miranda Priestly is part of my fetish revolving around strong, cold and dominant women. She's all kinds of perfection. Other recommended films: Sophie's Choice, The Hours, Death Becomes Her, Julie & Julia and also everything else she was in.
Lauren Graham
I think she plays into the same fetish as Miranda Priestly. Since Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls is a woman that keeps people at a distance and that spends most of her time not letting people close. However she is a tad less dominant and a tad less dragon-like. Gilmore Girls is all kinds of wonderful, love the humour, the closeness between mother and daughter and the wit in the dialogue. She hasn't really done anything else that I'd recommend or that I've seen to be honest but Lorelai Gilmore has always had a place in my heart.
Tina Fey
She is not only beautiful but she might also be the funniest person the world has ever seen and that's saying a lot, since I've just degraded a lot of people I find to be hilarious beyond words. But what she created with her show 30 Rock is simply brilliant. Her and Alec Baldwin on screen? Sizzling. But mostly I just keep on cracking up and the insanity and the creativity that is to be found in this show? Marvellous. Watch it in English if you can, because I doubt they managed to translate any of the wordplays in an accurate manner. Before 30 Rock she was a writer for SNL (Saturday Night Live) and must have been pretty good at it from what I've heard. So, what can I say? I admire that woman.
Rachel Shelley
She played Helena Peabody on the L-Word and while being introduced as quite the bitch during the second season, I could never ignore her, since her English was a perfect British and as we all know I'm a sucker for British. She rocks a suit and high heels combined with money and power like the perfect Brit she is and plays straight into my fetish with all these things.
Gillian Anderson
Was Dana Scully my first love? Or was it Xena? I don't quite remember, but one of these two ladies sure was and I'm pretty certain it was Dana. Of course, you've guessed it by now, cold, powerful, owns a gun, has an attitude and therefore feeds my fetish like the good agent she is. I love the X-Files. One of my favourite shows, if not in my humble opinion the best show there ever was. And Dana Scully was perfect in every way. Especially when she was rocking those shoulder pads during the first season. Those were the days. Together with Duchovny she was part of a perfect couple and I love watching them interact on screen. I was very little when I caught the first glimpses of the X-Files and I must admit it always scared me, still does sometimes. She kicks ass.

It’s Complicated ist für jeden Streep Fan ein Genuss. Hab fast meinen Pullover verschluckt. Auch habe ich eine Bitte an das Universum? Mit 60 so aussehen!
Auf dem Heimweg dann über Brunnen gestolpert.

Trotz all dem Anstossen und bibbern und hoffen hat es also für La Streep nicht zum dritten Oscar gereicht. Ich liebe Kate Winslet, was für eine wunderschöne, elegante, talentierte Frau. Sie ist in meinen Augen die Streep der nächsten Generation. Aber eben, noch nicht ganz dort und deswegen gönne ich den nackten, goldigen Mann Winslet zwar aber mein Herz schlug für La Streep.
Es hat nicht sollen sein.
Dafür gab es ein paar wunderbare Momente, wo auf Twitter doch tatsächlich die Leute gefragt haben, wer denn der Zombie/die alte Frau/the Freak sei, der da Streep präsentiere. Kein Problem, war ja nur Sophia Loren. Wer kennt denn schon Sophia Loren? Ist ja nur etwa eine der besten Schauspielerinnen aller Zeiten. (Zuviel Sonne hatte sie in ihrem Leben, das gebe ich zu.)
Zu Meryl und Kate habe ich ein paar wunderbare Bilder.
Give me this, will you? It’s mine. So, just hand it over, kthxbai.
As I said. Mine. My precious!
Oh und dann hat sich Streep noch mit Jennifer Aniston ablichten lassen, was für eine wundervolle Tat für einen Fan wie mich.
