      Versatile next level! No other actress compares. Musicals, superhero films, comedy, viking epics, existential dramas, she's done it all! From Moulin Rouge! and To Die For to Being the Ricardos and The Hours to Paddington and Aquaman - she can do LITERALLY anything. 100 projects behind her, and she's still got another 20-30 years of acting, God willing. Genius.

      Watch the interview on a talk show (can’t remember which one, maybe Late Night Colbert) where she is busting Kitt Harington’s chops about living with his then girlfriend Rose Leslie. She was encouraging him to pop the question and get married-she’s Catholic. He turned so red it was awkward. He did propose shortly afterwards. No pressure!! 😂😂😂
