Performance of the Day

Actor: ASHLEY JUDD

Film: "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"

Character: Young Vivi

Year: 2002

Ashley Judd shows that she can truly act with this complex and deep performance. Vivi (Judd) is a woman who deals with depression and anxiety, while trying to raise her five children in the 1960s south. Judd certainly holds her own amongst a slew of fabulous actors (Maggie Smith, Ellen Burstyn, and Fionnula Flanagan).
