Performance of the Day


Actor: JULIA ORMOND
Film: "First Knight"
Character: Guinevere
Year: 1995


Julia Ormond intrigued audiences in the mid 90s with her work in "Legends of the Fall" and "Sabrina", but it was her performance in 1995's "First Knight" that really sticks out in my mind. She played beautiful Guinevere, the woman who married King Arthur (Sean Connery), but fell in love with Lancelot (Richard Gere). She portrayed Guinevere with a mix of sensitivity and strength and was absolutely stunning to watch. I haven't seen her much these days (she played Brad Pitt's daughter in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" a couple of years back) and I hope she will come back strong.
