Unique Actresses

Actresses don't really stand out like they used to. I can't tell the Olivia Whosits from the Kate Whathernames. They're all very pretty and very good, but fail to leave a lasting impression on me. If you can't get Mila Kunis you get Minka Kelly. No big deal. Emma Stone. Blake Lively. Jennifer Lawrence. They're completely interchangeable. They're "girl next door", which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
There was a time, even one I can remember, when actresses were unique. I'm thinking the last really special one was Nicole Kidman. But, being a child of the 80s and early 90s, Julia Roberts sticks out. Remember when tall was sexy? And big hair meant big personality. The angular frame and exaggerated features, all added to mystique that made Julia completely entrancing. I wonder when we'll get another like her.
