and so refreshing.  i loved her oscars speech.  i cant say i have seen everything shes been in but what i have seen was great.

Phenomenal, refreshing and unique!  An artist's model, most definitely!  And btw the suits, red hair, eyes, and porcelain look...*swoon*

It's refreshing to see a woman who has a promising career in Hollywood who isn't in in make-up all the time or being forced to conform to stereotypes of what  being feminine looks like

I love her. Absolutely. Unconditionally. Unabashedly. (obviously)....

She does, literally transcend *everything* that Hollywood represents ... but more than that, she transends so much of HUMANITY ... I think Hollywood sometimes tries to hard to be "normal" ... that there's some pressure to make entertainment, or dare i say it, "art" - reflective of "real life" .... which to an extend I understand. But the very nature of most art, I think, involves some form of artiface and unique adaptation toward the suspension of disblief - that Hollywood, in my humble opinion - doesn't utilize NEARLY enough. 

But Tilda Swinton .... she is the embodiment, I think to many people, of the suspension of disbelief. And i think that is the sexiest, brashest, most glorious trait in the entire world, and she's only one of 5 living people that I can think of who accomplishes that.

Dorothy - my hat tips off in respect and gratitude for this article.

And yes, she's DAMN fine in a suit. ;)

Thanks for this article, i love this lady. So graceful and beautiful, plus her Oscar speech was close to being THE best ever. Also, way to go, she lives with her husband but travels with her younger lover......hot damn. Thats all i can say, lol. Good for her.

 And yes, please, more suits Tilda :D.

Anyone who likes Tilda Swinton and reads this blog might want to check out Female Perversions if you haven't seen it. It's a fantastic, though somewhat disturbing, film. (Swinton has a lesbian lover in the film.)

I absolutely LOVE Tilda Swinton!  And yes she does Indeed look Fine in a suit. On top of being strikingly beautiful and very talented she is F**king smart: I saw her on Charlie Rose shortly before "Young Adam" was released and she was talking about loneliness and said something so though-provoking and insightful I wrote it down [don't ask me where that slip of paper is now...] She basically said that we are all lonely to some degree and if we could simply accept that about ourselves and each other instead of trying to 'fix' it people would generally be better off and the world would be a much better place! I whole-heartedly agree! Female Perversions is quite good - but I've loved her in everything! She's especially fantasic in Constantine!

Freedom is not something you are given, but something you have to take.

"hot hot sex" as the commercial would say. She is so beautiful and wonderful and awesome. I love her the more I read about her. Thanks for highlighting this lovely lady.. I can't wait to read OUT! Plus, I loved her as the angel Gabriel in Constantine. I know the movie is questionable.. but, dude, she rocks that role. No pun intended.

!!

proves why she's brilliant

I'm happy she received her dues as an "actress" this year

I've got to find this magazine so I can read the rest of the article

I first saw her in Constantine and although she wasn't a lead, she stuck in my mind. I thought she was so awesome. Now, it seems everything i see relating to her just proves this more. ^^

I've been an adoring fan of Tilda Swinton for many years, "Orlando" was the film that hooked me. Last year I had the pleasure of attending an "in person" interview with Tilda at the 2007 Edinburgh International Film Festival. She was supremely gracious, funny, self-deprecating, intelligent and quirky... compellingly eccentric rather than "wierd" (as the tabloids tend to describe her). The entire interview is sadly not available but highlights of it are if anyone is interested. Among other things, she talks about her films with the late Derek Jarman (Edward II, Carravagio, etc.), her Hollywood experiences and her androgony: EIFF Interview

Yes! Thank you for this article, Dorothy Snarker!

At a time when lovely actresses are allowing "Hollywood" to dictate their breast sizes/weight/looks, so that their beauty is of the "cookie cutter" variety...it is delightful to see a celebrated actress, like Tilda Swinton, accentuate her sexy, androgenous look and a beauty that is as unique and fascinating as the person within.

She is...lovely!
:-)

I pray that the movie industry will, indeed, start to realize that beauty takes many forms and that they do not need to "define" it for us.

I have loved Tilda since 'Orlando.'  The movie itself I thought was merely OK (although it was beautifully shot) but I remember her being outstanding in it.

I've followed her career ever since and have had my heart broken every time I gaze upon her glorious face.  I nearly had a heart attack when I saw her in Constantine-Tilda in that green suit and later on in those white pants with suspenders-IN A TANK TOP!!!! I nearly died and went to heaven.

I bought the issue of Out yesterday and it is a great read, ladies.  A great interview with Tilda as well as an entire issue dedicated to a part of the queer community that perhaps alot of us don't know that much about.  Run-don't walk- out and get it.

she was a great actress and I agree definately looks hot in a suit. I've never been disappointed by her in anything I've seen. Olando, Young Adam, and Narnia are probably my favorites though.

Wow - I've always thought that she reminded me of someone, but it just clicked. David Bowie.
