Here we have a tale of two starlets.


Emily Lloyd: I feel like I never actually saw her in anything but coming attractions. Which is fitting, because in the late eighties she was very much a Next Big Thing. It didn’t really happen for her. I wonder about the reasons. It just seemed like the wind left her sails in her early twenties the way a lot of actresses have happen to them in their middle thirties. You never know, though, how those apple-cheeked ingénues can come back around and have a sturdy later career. Look at…I don’t know, Angela Lansbury?


When you look at Natasha Gregson Wagner, it’s hard not to think of her mother first. The daughter was a sylphlike presence flitting about the edges of the indie-major film world, without ever quite landing a career-defining role. She’s now been reduced to steady guest appearances in TV dramas and the like. But there’s no shame in that. There’s a level solidity to her, despite the physical wispiness.


So those two are the primary co-winners, but the third winner is the one I really want to link you to. Check out these moves!
