Elizabeth Banks did not have a "lesbian phase"

I dont recognize her and I saw several of her movies. I think its her face, just not very distinctive... If I saw her on the street... well I wouldnt see her at all period, just wouldnt attract my attention lol  

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

reminds me soooooo much of Rachel McAdams!

I don't recognise her either!

I don't think the problem is her change of haircut or haircolor but to me, she looks like so many other american cheerleader type of women that I get her confused with a bunch of other actresses quite often.

Her face has nothing distinct - I wonder if this is natural or if in fact, she has got a special feature that she hides with clever make up or has had an op for. If she does, my advice to her would be to show off her mole or whatever it is, that would make her more recognisable!

Taking off - the novel, coming soon. Starring Katie, a lesbian in London...

In the meanwhile, you can read reviews of films and books with lesbian/bi characters and/or taking place in London at www.takingoff.org

 

 How could you not remember someone so adorable? I think that it's moreso the chamelon-esque of her being able to slip into characters that are diverse and lifelike. I'm surprised that there wasn't more talk of her role on Scrubs. She overtly funny when she wants to be and then can sock you in the stomach with the drama. I've liked her turns in most every role, but loved her in Invincible. Something about a bartender who goes to rival sporting events and eggs on the competition.

She reminds me a little of Autumn Reeser. (Taylor from The OC.)

I think she looks like Rachel McAdams too.

When I saw the previews for W, I thought that was Parker Posey playing Laura Bush.  I have seen Banks in other things; I just probably got her confused with other actresses.

Not surprisingly, uber-conservative Larry H. Miller who owns the largest theater chain in Utah (and essentially the rest of the state) won't show Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but will show much more family-friendly options like the Saw series and Jackass. This happened when Brokeback Mountain came out, except then he didn't realize what the movie was about until just before it opened and cancelled the showings despite all the tickets already sold for the movie.

ASS.

I've watched 3 out of the 4 movies you mentioned, and she did look familiar in the movie. I just couldn't just remember. I really like watching her in Seabiscuit, though. She's so adorable, who wouldn't want to watch her in anything.

I recognized her from Scrubs but I agree, she doesn't really stand out for people to notice her that much. Besides she looks like a couple of other actresses...especially Rachel McAdams. BUT I will say that she's really cute. :D lol I liked her on Scrubs.

I wanted to scream in the theater for Laura to "run...run away now!"  She looked like this sweet innocent girl, and, uh, but why was she attracted to W.?  It just didn't make sense.   

As for the actress, she did an amazing job playing Laura.   I hope she has continued success, but there's no need for her to make bisexuals and/or lesbians sound bad and perpetuate the "being gay is a choice" falsehood. (Did I read too much into that because I've been reading too many comments by the Yes for Prop 8 people?)

Eh, she blew me away as a photographer in Heights (cuz a lady with a lens is about as hot as one with a tattoo), a Focus Features film with Glenn Close and James Marsden. The gay guys probably knew more about it cuz of the whole direction of the film (but I won't spoil that) but it seems for the most part, it went under the radar. It was the first time I had seen her and she's remarkable in it. Never did understand why I didn't see her in much else. I would totally recommend it for new Elizabeth Banks fans.

i knew who she was... and would be able to tell you her name if I saw her in a movie but she really does look a lot different as a brunette... or even a darker blonde. I'm surprised she's not more famous.

...the rationale behind this article about some forgettable actress who has gone out of her way to say that she hasn't had a 'lesbian phase' and that that's 'normal' (i do so love it when the hetero-normative crowd use that word to describe themselves) isssss what? Give her some lesbo media attention and maybe she'll play gay?

Hmmmm...ok.

I know who Elizabeth is...she is from my area...and when she came back here to film Seabiscuit...she was interviewed by the local papers.

What I think she has going for her is her ability to lose herself in whatever role she is in and is not a personality who plays it the same no matter what the movie and the role calls for.

The lack of "fame" and lack of gossip about her love life...I think...is in her favor...because then she can act and portray the role and be the character she intends to be.

I am so tired of the movie "vehicles" where some star plants themselves in a movie and the public is just expected to flock to it because of who they are...meanwhile, they stopped acting and developing their craft, long ago.

Thank goodness for actors like Elizabeth Banks as it is performers like her who are the ones who actually make movies still worth watching.
