Kathy Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yeah and i thought she was more pretty than Helen in Troy.She reminds me a bit of Rachel weiz and Monica Bellucci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 I saw Wicker Park and didn't think much of her, but I didn't like the movie. I did like how she was a foil for Diane Heidkruger. then I saw Troy, and totally fell for her in that movie. her eyes reminded me of Alba, and her expressions reminded me of a lot of other actresses. and of course, lovely to see her with Diane again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
