Who?

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 14:46 (10 years ago) Permalink

There's something strangely appealing about her rather canine face.

(Mel you broke the RULES!)

When?

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 14:47 (10 years ago) Permalink

She's really cute. Have you seen any movies she's been in?
I don't need her lifestyle (honest!), just wish I looked more like her.

What celebrity do you most want to look like?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 14:48 (10 years ago) Permalink

Like in "Secretary"?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 14:48 (10 years ago) Permalink

Yep.

I love the outfits she wears in that movie too.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 14:49 (10 years ago) Permalink

I can't think of any I'd like to look like. There are some beautiful celebrities, but most of the ones I seem to find attractive have an annoying personality that gets in the way of me finding them attractive anymore.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 14:50 (10 years ago) Permalink

a gag ball? If I could be any celebrity I would probably be....P. Diddy.

How Chris would talk: Yeah... wha- uh huh right...

don't forget he's the greatest dancer of all time.

B-b-but I thought YOU were?!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 15:04 (10 years ago) Permalink

I used to think she was the most beautiful woman alive, and I still think she's gorgeous.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 15:05 (10 years ago) Permalink

where do you think i learned my moves?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 15:08 (10 years ago) Permalink

Sarah is OTM.

Maggie Gyllenhaal = stupid cute.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 15:48 (10 years ago) Permalink

I really like her without really thinking much of the films she's been in. She has an interesting face. I don't mean that as a backhanded compliment; I think she's striking. She looks a bit like the young Claudette Colbert, with her big cheeks and big sloping eyes and a mouth that always seems mildly turned-up in bemusement, or boredom. It makes seem smarter than most actresses her age, though I realize this could easily be an illusion. (I mentioned her resemblance to Claudette on another thread I think.)

I wonder if MG can sing; I'd like to see her in a musical. (Oh, wait, they don't make real musicals anymore. Never mind.)

Much more compelling than her bro.

Melissa- she still is.

AMG writers: be aware that there is an Erlewine who looks near-exactly like that.

F this. I don't want to look like MG any more. I'm going back to wanting to look like Bjork.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is my new Catherine Keener. (I'm still knocking around with the old Catherine Keener too).

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:04 (10 years ago) Permalink

Am I the only person who doesn't find her particularly attractive? Maggie, not Catherine.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:21 (10 years ago) Permalink

You have to catch her at the right angle.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:23 (10 years ago) Permalink

She's just sexy as hell. Not especially in the photo above, or maybe not in any photo. There's a kind of oozing thing going on.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:24 (10 years ago) Permalink

All I've ever seen are pictures--I'll fully concede to the idea that in "flesh" (ie moving pictures) she could be sexy, I wouldn't know!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:27 (10 years ago) Permalink

That's some Videodrome shit you're on.

― slutsky (slutsky), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:31 (10 years ago) Permalink

Ally, you should see Secretary! I think everyone should.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:35 (10 years ago) Permalink

I asked on another thread if that was as good as the trailer. I guess that's a yes.

She was also Donnie's sister in Donnie Darko, Ally.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:37 (10 years ago) Permalink

I was tempted, Nicole...so it's really good, then?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:37 (10 years ago) Permalink

She had a good name in Secretary.

― Leee (Leee), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:37 (10 years ago) Permalink

Haha I've never seen Donnie Darko!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:37 (10 years ago) Permalink

Well...keep in mind I have a thing for James Spader. But I think it would have been very good even if it were some dweeb like Jon Cryer that played that role instead of him.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:38 (10 years ago) Permalink

What if it was Keanu Reeves?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:40 (10 years ago) Permalink

Then it would be the best comedy ever.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:41 (10 years ago) Permalink

She was cute in "Adaptation," too.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 15 May 2003 16:46 (10 years ago) Permalink

For the record, I wanna be Catherine Keener too.

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Thursday, 15 May 2003 17:26 (10 years ago) Permalink

She's better looking than her brother. But that's not really saying much.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 15 May 2003 20:24 (10 years ago) Permalink

Her brother is hella cute!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 15 May 2003 20:35 (10 years ago) Permalink

I was about to say, I wouldnt wanna be Maggie, cos I'd rather like to shag Jake, and thats rather eww if I'm his sister, so yeah. Jake G is hotttt.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Tackles 9/11 Politics
Apr 26, 2:21 PM EST

Associated Press

Maggie Gyllenhaal has waded into sensitive political waters by raising questions about Sept. 11 and American foreign policy.

The 27-year-old actress, who stars in a new film about the 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, said in an interview last week that the United States "is responsible in some way" for the attacks.

A fan Web site devoted to Gyllenhaal was overwhelmed with criticism, forcing the site's editor to remove the ability to post messages "because it's gotten too outta hand."

In a statement issued Monday by her publicist, Gyllenhaal said Sept. 11 was "an occasion to be brave enough to ask some serious questions about America's role in the world. Because it is always useful as individuals or nations to ask how we may have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to this conflict.

"Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9/11."

She also expressed her grief for "everyone who suffered and everyone who died in the catastrophe."

Gyllenhall stars in "The Great New Wonderful," which features stories about people living in New York in the aftermath of the terror attacks. The movie is being shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, which was founded by Robert De Niro to help revitalize downtown Manhattan after Sept. 11.

Her screen credits also include "Secretary," "Mona Lisa Smile" and "Donnie Darko." She is the older sister of actor Jake Gyllenhaal. She lives in Manhattan.

Maggie is cuter than Mandy! Mandy might be in the running if it wasn't for that "tan".

Also, her response in that press release is very good, compared to the backpedaling someone else might do.

Back to top because Maggie is around filming STRANGER THAN FICTION in my neighborhood - only 2 blocks behind my apartment!

I had fantasies that I might run into her and she'd be my new best friend, but then I realized that she would inevitably find this thread one day, started by yours truly, and find the whole thing... I don't know... creepy?
