they were probably comparing her to julia b/c she went from comedy to drama then suspense. the thing is, i also think that JG is incomparable to any actress. she has her own style. she radiates sweetness, simplicity, strength and a different charisma that is uniquely hers. she can be funny, but she can also be tough. just looking at her in the interviews, she's very lovable, she lits a room. she glows and her smile melts your heart. i maybe sound bias, but for me, she's a wonderful person and so unaffected with all these hollywood things on her feet. very classy too. AND very few stars are like that.
