This sounds kinda dangerous and irresponsible, but what do I know.

[stillglows]

it's true! i know a few stage actresses who are method (not anywhere near what we hear men do but) and they usually get labelled as bitches or divas.

Which is why I thought it was interesting POV when Robert Pattinson mentioned that he noticed that method actors always play terrible people but never use method acting for nice characters.

You're right. The only non male method acting story I can remember is when Ellen Page stopped eating while playing Sylvia Likens in American Crime. The director asked if she was eating and she responded "No, because Sylvia wasn't being fed." It always really creeped me out.

that looks like a drunk history scene
