in the last 30-40 years with that kind of presence at nineteen? There have been great nineteen year old actresses in great roles (Jennifer Lawrence), but when was the last time American film portrayed young women with such poise and elegance? Bergman in Casa Blanca is another example.

Glowing. Can't take your eyes off of them.

Come to think of it, though, Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone was just fucking mesmerizing. Much presence, poise and elegance in that role.
