Eldergays, Tell Me About Greta Scacchi

Eldergays, tell me about Greta Scacchi.

She was in quite a bit in the 1980's and 1990's, in hits such as Heat and Dust, White Mischief, Presumed Innocent, The Player, Jefferson in Paris, Emma, and Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny.

But by the year 2000 her career was practically over. What happened?

Having a kid with your first cousin doesn't help your career.

by Anonymousreply 1June 16, 2025 1:26 AM

Turned down “Basic Instinct.” Had a kid with Vincent D’Onofrio who’s a hot mess. Fucked her cousin.

Screwed up an otherwise promising career due to her pussy.

Tale as old as time.

She also hinted at the fact that she had spurned Harvey Weinstein, which didn't work to her advantage.

Thank you, Greta. You’re disgusting but I appreciate you.

Her daughter married Sean Penn, which is concrete proof you were an abominable parent.

She won an Emmy as Czarina Alexandra in HBO's Rasputin.

Men and women truly age differently.

Vincent D’Onofrio still looks good, even when he’s fat as shit playing Kingpin on “Daredevil.” Greta, meanwhile, is now an Italian Nona who looks like she’s smuggling a brisket in her girdle.

Vincent can still get 30-something pussy. She couldn’t get felt up by a blind Italian grandpa.

She should at least buy a treadmill and make an effort to look presentable. Currently, she’s a fat, elderly embarrassment.

Incest isn’t the best career move. Mostly.

by Anonymousreply 19June 16, 2025 2:17 AM

She convincingly played such a vile, homewrecking bitch in “Presumed Innocent,” that the audience was actually happy when they learned Bonnie Bedillia’s character smashed her head in with a hammer. That’s how detestable the character was. Even though the men were really the problem - she fucked half the dopey cast- she just emanated narcissistic evil.

She would have actually been very interesting in “Basic Instinct.” But Sharon owned that role.

by Anonymousreply 20June 16, 2025 2:28 AM

Mentioned this on another thread -- she's co-starring with Bryan Brown in a series ("Darby and Joan") filmed in Australia. They travel around solving crimes. It's on Acorn.

R20 Presumed Innocent really is an underrated film. So many good performances; Scacchi, Harrison Ford, Raul Julia, Brian Dennehy, Paul Winfield, John Spencer, and, as you mentioned, Bonnie Bedillia

R22 Yes, both Raul and Bonnie could have earned supporting Oscar noms and no one would have had a problem. They were that good.

It has been sadly forgotten.

R24 One of Raul Julia's best performances

by Anonymousreply 25June 16, 2025 2:42 AM

“Presumed Innocent” is mostly concerned with the stale, courtroom machinations of all the male characters when it’s really far more primal: An evil, feline viper vs. a clever and fed-up mama bear who was pushed one step too far.

by Anonymousreply 26June 16, 2025 2:57 AM

She was really gorgeous. Even if she's heavy now there's no excuse for that hair cut and colour.

Oh nevermind I see. R18 is the anti woman troll who makes up half the comments here and in the thread defending Jared Leto for being a rapist.

Makes sense.

I saw her play Miss Julie in 1992 with the Sydney Theatre Company.

She was excellent.

And the production was infamous for killing a live budgie on stage.

R39, indeed she did. I spent the rest of the movie thinking she had to be the villain somehow, given her being famous, no way she would only have that minor role and screen time.

But nope, it was all it was.

by Anonymousreply 49June 16, 2025 10:10 AM

She's worked extensively in her career but she was a lot more interesting than the Hollywood femme fatale roles she was cast in. Polly Walker was very similar.

Look at her stage work - Ibsen, Strindberg, Shepard, Pinter, Coward, Schiller, Rattigan, Sondheim, Shakespeare, Chekov, Williams and Osborne. Any actor would kill to be able to do that range.

Leila George played the younger version of Cate Blanchett in Disclaimer. It was a small role but she was incredible in it. You knew what was coming but it was still a shock.
