There are actors I will watch do anything (Denis OHare, Peter Lorre, Walter Huston, Anna Magnani, Bette Davis, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Mary Astor, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, Sterling Hayden, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Zerbe, Charles Dutton, C. C. H. Pounder, tops). And then there are acting lessons. Here are some performances that taught me a good deal of what I know about adjustments. Lesson not numero uno but most emphatic: Denis OHares schizophrenic on Law & Order: Pro Se. Second is Kathryn Hepburns obsessively in denial bereaved mother, whose lie is what fuels the performance. 1. M (Peter Lorre, Otto Wernicke) 2. Three Strangers (Peter Lorre) 3. Stranger on the Third Floor (Peter Lorre) 4. They Might Be Giants (George C. Scott) 5. Suddenly Last Summer (Kate Hepburn) 6. The Fugitive Kind (Anna Magnani, Joanne Woodward) 7. The Chase (Robert Duvall) 8. The Missouri Breaks (Marlon Brando, but give Jack Nicholson credit for playing someone besides himself in this one) 9. Requiem for a Dream (Ellen Burstyn) 10. The Seventh Seal (Nils Poppe) 11. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise (Julien Bertheau) 12. Law & Order: Pro Se (Denis OHare) 13. Winning (Paul Newman) 14. Passage to India (Peggy Ashcroft) 15. The Great Lie (Mary Astor)
