Dean's Thoughts on Entertainment

Supporting Actress of the Week



Fairuza Balk

Attractive yet scary, Fairuza Balk is the best freaky girl available. She has been typecast in many ways, but she does it so well I can understand. To her credit she played other characters well, but most of them were depraved in some way, like a prostitute or a groupie. I enjoy her myself (Partly because of a striking resemblence to my old friend Melanie), all the way back to when she was in the scariest movie ever, Return to Oz. For those of you who forgot she was Dorothy, she is most known for her parts in The Craft, The Waterboy, and American History X. Other than these movies she shone in Things to Do in Denver When Your Dead, Almost Famous, and Personal Velocity. I think she was the best in The Waterboy as a goofier rendition of her witch role from the Craft. She has only voice work to show off for the next year, mostly from Video Games (GTA: Vice City, Lords of Everquest), I'm hoping that she'll have something good on the horizon for us.
