but I think Brendan Fraser has potential. I think the right director could bring it out of him.

"Mommy Dearest".

But Streep is INCANDESCENT.
I had a boss who used to say, "No other actress should act while Meryl Streep is alive." He adored her.

I think, did the best acting I've ever seen in a movie or tv show in my life.
