Zenith of Hotness

Ms. Keener rose to prominence at a relatively late age. She didn’t get regular film work until her late thirties. Before that, she worked as a casting agent–an odd transition, particularly for a woman over thirty in Hollywood.

She’s certainly managed to carve out a spot as a serious actor. She’s got an easy manner on-screen, a kind of laid-back charisma that’s really charming.

Plus, look at that list of movies. With the glaring exception of S1m0ne, she can really pick the off-beat (and often dark) comedies.

At the age of 50, has she reached her zenith? Or is it still to come?

Your Friends & Neighbors (1998)

Being John Malkovich (1999)

S1m0ne (2002)

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

Friends with Money (2006)

Capote (2007)

Hamlet 2 (2008)
