CDAN – This married B list movie actress has seen her career slowly slide to the point where she is more likely a C. It is only her looks and her name recognition that keeps her hovering at that B line. Anyway, she has been in this space before and one of the times she was in this space was to discuss her foreign companion who has always helped support her before and during her marriage. Anyway, now she is taking those same skills and has put them to securing herself a role in this A list director’s next movie. She thinks his movies will put her on her way to the A list. The fact that the director is married doesn’t bother her in the least. She wants to be in that movie and will do anything to succeed.
Nicole Kidman?
u’re kidding right?
Melanie Griffith?
that’s who came to my mind also
Has Mel ever been B list?
Definitely a solid B around the era of Working Girl (‘88) and in the early 90’s. She was actually in some pretty big movies back then, probably even A-list at that time.
I also think Working Girl and “anything to succeed” fit perfectly together. Don’t they?
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Ditto.
was going to say Salma Hayek, but I like this guess better!
Thirded.
Who is her foreign companion? She doesn’t have one!!
yea or demi
I love the Salma Hayek guess. Isn’t Nicole kidman already A-list? And as for CZJ, wouldn’t Michael Douglas have enough sway for her to avoid the casting couch?
Nicole Kidman was A-list. Shes been slipping for years.
I don’t know, Michael Douglas just finished playing a ridiculous ghost in that horrible Matthew McConaughey movie. I’d say his sway has expired.
Are you kidding? Salma is a very successful exec producer right now with ugly betty, and is not sliding anywhere! Def not Salma.
Yep. I’ve been doing a little research, and C Z-J is playing the lead role in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming film called Cleo. He’s married. Ding, ding! I think we have a winner. She fits the details perfectly, once B-list, especially after the Oscar win, but has never capitalized on it so her career has stagnated to C-list. Only her looks and her name (and the fact that she is married to a famous star) keep her on B-list(ish) status. And haven’t there been other BIs that we suspect involve her and Michael Douglas and him not being able to hold on to her, or something? I’ll have to do a little more research, but I think this is it.
Michael Douglas is foreign-born?
Douglas was born in New Jersey. Last I checked, that was not a foreign country.
Never mind; threw me off. Blind doesn’t speak of the husband’s Nationality.
To C Z-J we are the foreign country…
No, it mentions a foreign companion (not husband) who has been supporting her. Read below for details of a possible “connection” Z-J has with a Japanese man.
I was going to say Elizabeth Hurley.
But Catherine Zeta Jones was in other Soderbergh films: Traffic and Ocean’s 13, I think they are pretty good acquaintances.
Maybe this is the reason she keeps turning up in his films? Ok, I know, probably not. But I haven’t yet run across anyone else who fits. Gwyneth Paltrow, according to IMDB is not currently filming or preparing to film anything except Iron Man 2, by that certainly-not-A-list director Jon Favereau.
Drawing a blank but… the part about foreign husband is the hardest… is he foreign…from HER country or foreign from the USA?
Help BG!!!!
Doh! badly inverted g’s and n’s… my bad!
I believe it’s not the husband that’s foreign but some other ‘benefactor’ – there have been some stories floating around about CZJ and some Japanese business man who recently left her a couple of millions…
Indecent proposal type-thing?
It doesn’t say the husband is foreign. It says ” … her foreign companion who has always helped support her before and during her marriage.” Could be just a friend, male or female who supported her. That said, still don’t have a clue!
Gwyneth Paltrow.
…this sounds like Jessica Alba
Jennifer Beals.
I believe her husband is foreign. And the pic is Laurel Holloman from the L-Word
Sure doesn’t look like Laurel Holloman to me.
I don’t think Jennifer Beals has ever been B-list. Not even in her Flashdance days.
Also, Jennifer Beals is more well-known these days for the TV series “The L Word,” not films.
Claire Forlani
kate beckinsdale?
Melanie Griffith. The pic is a Working Girl ref, surely.
Totally Liz Hurley.
Isn’t liz hurley F list by now?
That is Laurel, it’s an older pic from a few seasons ago.
kate beckinsale with chris nolan for the next Batman
Agree about the director. His nexts projects are Intersection, withLeonardo DiCaprio and Batman 3. Totally AAA movies.
Naomi Watts, Lieve Schreiber as the husband and with Nicole Kidman as the foreign companion.
Naomi and Liev are not married, are they?
Sounds like CZJ to me.
I think it’s Jennifer Lopez. She’s a loser.
Jessica Alba. I think with the negative publicity she had recently is the reason she is going down the drain. Plus she has a bad attitude. She seems arrogant and very condescending.
Jessica’s husband is black and american. Not foreign.
Why is everybody questioning whether or not the husband is foreign? I thought the blind was completely clear that it’s just the first companion who is.
gwenyth paltrow? or w/e?
Eva Longoria?
Realize that the pic here may not be a clue since this isn’t from BG – BUT … the pose is similar to one’s Catherine Zeta Jones had for T-Mobile commericals in the past. Plus, its the ‘companion’ who’s foreign, not her husband. Since she’s Welsh, its most likely an Englishman or Frenchman.
Salma Hayek or Kate Beckinsale
Catherine zeta jones is aiming for a bigger movie, her foreign husband is michael douglas. Maybe Catherine wants in on the new oliover stone movie -wall street 2, she sure would be alist then.
or you nkow melanie griffith, she sure has sunk to a c-list, and her antonio banderas, maybe it’s her who want into wall sreet 2 or some other huge coming movie
Halle Berry – everything fits and she made out with Jamie Foxx in that desperate attempt for attention. But she married to her babies father?
