    Wow.. this filmography is rather lacking isn't it?..

    it's 1:30 am and I am so tired I can't see straight, but I noticed several missing names in seconds..

    The Three Musketeers (as the Queen)
    Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (great movie)
    and.. Daddy Who? (When I watched it the title was Kimberly, but this is the title I'm finding on amazon) it is a wonderful movie.. grr..

    Well, anyway.. I'm not entirely sure why I bothered commenting.. but.. *shrug*
