Brooke in "Kansas City", "Trees Lounge" and "The Silence of the Lambs"
Two more scene caps of young Brooke Smith, this time from Robert Altman's "Kansas City" (1995) and from her break-through role in "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991):
Kansas City // The Silence of the Lambs
I highly recommend both movies, if you haven't seen them yet (even though the plot of "Kansas City" is a bit predictable, it's still worth watching, if only for the great Jazz music)! :-) (Some interesting background info about the real kidnapping that inspired the story of "Kansas City" can be found here.)
Now also available is Brooke's only scene in Steve Buscemi's "Trees Lounge", a depressing tale of a man with no purpose in life, stuck in a pointless daily routine and constantly getting into trouble. It is one of at least three Buscemi/Smith collaborations I've counted thus far:
Scene from "Trees Lounge"
I was trying to upload clips from Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda as well (another film I highly recommend!), but FOX wouldn't have it. Go get the DVD, it's worth it, even if you usually aren't into Woody Allen movies. M&M is starring Radha Mitchell, Chloë Sevigny (who was also in "Trees Lounge"), Will Ferrell, and a couple of well-known faces you might recognize from "Vanya on 42nd Street" and other productions (guess it's the N.Y.C. actors clique? *g*).
P.S. For those who are interested, here's a little bonus (many thanks to lostinCA84 and Major Roon for the links!):
