I'm so glad you gave Jessica Chastain a shout out. She accumulated an extraordinary body of work in 2011: The Help, Tree of Life, Coriolanus, Take Shelter, and The Debt. Actually, her first (!) film role was the lead in "Wilde Salome" (based on Oscar Wilde's play) with Al Pacino as King Herod, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, 2011. (I don't think the movie has been released in the US). Wow.

Thanks for your comment, Sabrina. Please see my blog posting on Sept. 19 re Jessica Chastain. I fell for her in a big way the first time I saw her in The Tree of Life.
