All artists need recognition from their audience during their performance. When the acknowledgment comes especially from a superstar, it brings the best feeling ever because it brings much motivation. It helps to build their self-esteem and confidence. Justice League’s Army Adams found herself getting such compliments from a renowned celebrity on her work. Three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep voiced what she believed in and branded Amy Adams as a great actress in the movie industry who is determined to succeed.

Julianne Moore

How good is Julianne Moore in acting? There is something that can’t be clarified about Julianne Moore appearance: she appears bounded by her attractiveness. If she grins the one thing that changes is her mouth; the gorgeously organized bones of her head remain intact stating the whole beauty of her face. This gives her an atmosphere of confined intellect which assisted her in the start of her professional career. She played a confused artist in Boogie Nights and a housewife in Safe and Far From Heaven. Lately, she cut loose to channel something in Diane Keaton’s vague comedy, The Kids Are All Right, in which her acting was superb. Moore has never been so funny. In Still Alice, she plays a victim of onset Alzheimer’s and you can see why she won an Oscar for it.

Molly Ringwald

She was born on 18th February 1968, in California’s Roseville. She was an actor in Sixteen Candles in 1984 by John Hughes. The movie was a great achievement. It had been preceded by two more teenage movies in which she was featured in. She also acted in Cabaret and Enchanted April on Broadway and also in other numerous television shows.

Claire Danes

Claire Danes is doing an amazing job on Homeland, where she plays the part of Carrie Mathison. Claire won a Golden Globe for her performance. While speaking from her home in New York City, Claire says that she has never seen a character like Carrie before. "She is strengthened in a different way. The role she plays as bipolar person isolates her”, said Danes. “It’s very tough to make new relations, it’s extremely unhelpful if it’s left untreated and even when it is, it’s malignant. CIA work is also very separating and isolated. I think Carrie just accepts that she will endlessly be a bit of a pessimist. I reflect her as Edward Scissorhands, too – she does not want to get too close to anybody”, adds Dane. Dane still remains best known for her big breakthrough performance alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in their movie Romeo & Juliet. The roles she is normally given are quite opposite to her physique but she still performs extremely well.

She also featured in the drama Diggers alongside Paul Rudd.

Sophia Loren

In the movie industry, Sophia Loren is one of the greatest movie icons of all time. Despite this, she has always had a kind humility while talking about herself. “I have had a good career but I have never considered myself as one of the great actresses of all time,” she said. “I have never received any historic opportunities or lots of awards. I did my best to get each award I received during my time,” she continued. As she turns 83, she is very contented and satisfied with whatever she achieved which includes an Oscar Award in 1962 for the role she played as Cesira in the film Two Women. Sophia said that her husband Carlo became a very big influence in her life. Sophia was paired with the charismatic and charming Omar Sharif for the very first time, in the film More Than a Miracle.

Kate Mara

It’s the A Ghost Story scene that critics can’t stop talking about. Silent and heartbroken over the hurt and pain of losing her spouse, the widow M comes back home and devours a whole vegan chocolate pie in just a single sitting by herself. David Lowery very vividly recalls the moment in an approximately four-minute long take, but the immobility and silence of the camera make the impression look and seem like an infinity scene that never seems to end. It was Rooney Mara's decision to fill the frame with the knowledge of impossibility that someone who has been through the devastating, painful and horrible process can connect or relate to. She does so with a delicate gusto which is why she is one extremely talented actress worth looking out for in the next few years.
