Star Recognition

I recently bought Ocean's thirteen with the intent to watch George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, ham it up, do some dirty dealing, and sit and be amazed. It wasn't until I watched it more thoroughly, that I looked into other actresses and actors of the movie. Ellen Barkin popped up as a person I had never seen before. This is by far the best acting I had seen. I don't take lightly for acting, it has to be perfect. Well not perfect, but you know your preferences, and I know mine.

She was born April 16th, 1954 in New York, New York. She was raised in the South Bronx and Queens, New York area and wanted to be an actress as early as her teens.
Here are some movies she has been in. She's starred with Al Pacino in thriller Sea of Love, portrayed Calamity Jane in Wild Bill. She also won an Emmy award for a gripping performance in Before Women Had Wings, opposite Oprah Winfrey.

In 2000 Ellen married billionaire Ron Perelman, but they divorced in 2006. Prior to that in 2005, she ventured into independent film productino with her brother George Barkin. Ellen then co-starred in Ocean's Thirteen with George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt, and former co-star Al Pacino.

She has one son, Jack and one daughter, Romey Marion.

ERIC CHRISTIAN OLSEN!!!! Man, this is a funny man, boy, guy. I watched him on Not another Teen Movie, and I loved his character. He always repeated himself, in a manner which was just so funny, but you weren't sure why. You just laughed because your friends were laughing, or you were still laughing from a different scene.

He was born May 31st, 1977 in Eugene, Oregon, a Oregonian!!!! He grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa, and has an older brother. As a senior in high school, he was a staff writer for the Bettendorf High school's monthly newspaper, "The growl." He attended Hope College in Holland Michigan his first year out of HS, but left to pursue an acting career. His brother plays as his stunt double.

Another movie to check out....Local Boys opposite Jeremy Sumpter from Peter Pan.

NEXT RECOGNITION:

Eddie Izzard and Beverly Mitchell.
