Today's Blind Items - Kindness

This finally working again former B+ movie actress who dated some of the biggest names in LA and also tended to get a little crazy at times, spent last night comforting a lost Alzheimer's patient found wandering the neighborhood. Upon realizing the elderly lady spoke Russian, the actress called up a friend to translate and they were able to get enough information for police to return the senior safely to her family. In the meantime, the lady was all smiles as she relaxed in the actress's living room with the family dog on her lap.

  4. My guess is older. Sean Young? Didn't she go a little crazy for James Woods? And that whole Cat Woman thing? She's working again....

  6. Winona Ryder?

    She's one of the leads in Black Swan and she's currently shooting Ron Howard's new movie.

  10. Love the Winona Ryder guess

  11. Made me think of Mischa Barton, though she's probably not B+

    ReplyDelete
  12. I want to say Anne Heche for some reason.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I immediately thought of Winona.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Biggest names in LA though and not Hollywood.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I agree with Moxy. Sounds like Heather Graham.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't have a good guess but that's a lovely story :)

  17. Drew Barrymore
    or Juliette Lewis

    ReplyDelete
  18. OMG, off-topic, but I just went to IMDB and they cast Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist! Woo hoo!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Does this have some connection to Mila Kunis, who speaks fluent Russian?

    ReplyDelete
  20. It is definitely not Dunst, she is currently in Sweden filming a foreign movie.

    How about Linda Hamilton, it was just announced she is going to be on Chuck.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @Christine: Sean Young popped into my head as soon as the word crazy was dropped

    ReplyDelete
  22. REVEAL in January, please!

    Wonderful, awesome, heartwarming.

    I needed a good story today, thanks, Enty!

  23. Wynona Ryder is the only solid B+ named. She played a "crazy" in Girl Interupted.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Why is this even a blind item? It is a good thing. Hell, such nice things would even be good for someone's career.

    ReplyDelete
  25. i vote for winona.

    drew's been working all along, not 'finally working again.'

    ReplyDelete
  26. Okay, I can see Daniel Craig as Blomkvist. Not TOO pretty, I was upset when I heard it might be Brad Pitt. Maybe they won't screw it up TOO bad.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I thought of Winona right away as well.

    ReplyDelete
  28. This totally sounds like Winona Ryder.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Winona is a good guess, but I like Sean Cat Woman Young better.

    ReplyDelete
  30. no sharon stone was in ny.

    ReplyDelete
  31. no sharon stone was in ny.

  32. My first thought was Drew Barrymore but Winona Ryder is a better guess. I'm jumping on that train.

    ReplyDelete
  33. not all alzheimer's patients are violent crazy. some never reach that stage. just my two cents.
    poor woman. glad someone stopped to help.
    my FIL tried to wander off once or twice, and he got lost walking the dog around the block. luckily he was well known in the neighborhood.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Robert - Mila Kunis, is the 1st person to pop into my head as the Russian translator...

    could be Kirsten Dunst

    The 2 starred together in 2001 - Get Over It

    Once upon a time those 2 were inseparable..

    ReplyDelete
  35. @ LOOneybin, that is a very good deduction. Doesn't Kirsten have a little dog?

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't usually post guesses, but this one sounds like Elisabeth Shue.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I like Kirten Dunst, so I hope it is her. What a nice thing to do.

    And why is this a blind?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Winona FTW. Except that she's A list.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Rose McGowan.

    Dated Marilyn Manson and Robert Rodriguez. Has done some pretty crazy shit in the past (esp. when w/ Manson). Known for her work with small english bulldogs (dog on the lap). And she was in the photos today. That's my best guess.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Sean Young. I hope this will be revealed.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Eh... I don't see enough here to be as sure as everyone else that it's Winona. Especially the "family dog" part. Makes me think, ya know, family. Married. Probably kids.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I like the Winona guess....

    ReplyDelete
  43. Juliette Lewis was my first thought.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am just going to go out on a limb and say... Claire Forlani? Formerly linked to Jeremy London (I know, fallen from grace), Benicio Del Toro, John Cusack, Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller and Keanu Reeves. She seems like a sweetheart and this sounds like something she might do. And she's married, but the kids aren't hers.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh wait, nevermind, I completely forgot about the "got a little crazy" part. Scratch my guess.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Maybe Minnie Driver?

  48. @trinnean - I agree, "Family Dog" could mean this is someone married with childern...

    Love the Winona guess.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I really don't think Winona ever went a little crazy, unless I am missing something (?). All Winona did was get caught shoplifting and have a huge pill problem as far as I know.

    I really like the Anne Heche guess. She went bonkers.

    Sharon Stone gets a little nutty sometimes, but nothing I would consider on the level of a little crazy...

    ReplyDelete
  50. I like the Winona guess.

    Btw, recent studies have shown that DHA slows the progession of Alzheimers and possible prevents in people likely to develope it. My parents take it, and they have a friend who was in the early stages who takes it everyday and it has almost stopped in it's progession. So, there is some hope out there.

  51. It definitely can't be Wynona, because she used to be an A actress back in the 80's. At one time was an "It" girl.

    It can't be Kirsten Dunst, because she used to be an A- actress for a brief stunt and was an "It" girl when she did the first Spiderman. She's also was not crazy (compared to Wynona). She was just into drugs and alcohol and "supposedly" got help.

    My guess is Heather Graham. She's a bit loopy, though seems like she could have a sweet side. She also only ever hit B+ status at the most. Never an A. She also started getting more work after she had a hit with "The Hangover".

    ReplyDelete
  52. really like the wynonna guess. i remember, but not the specifics, hearing once how she was super involved with like the murder or something of a little girl that i believe lived on the commune that she grew-up on...i could be crazy tough.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Heather Graham had a line in the Hangover when she flew back in her chair at the blackjack table and landed on the floor, "I get a little crazy when I gamble." I'm not sure if she said at times, she may have.
    Robert and looney, I thought Mila too for the Russian translator too! She's such a little doll.

    Everyone seems to know everyone in Hollywood. Heather is def B+ list.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I tossed around Heather Graham as a possibility too, but when I looked at who she'd been with I wasn't sure there was enough star power in those matches. Like, her most powerful match is with Benicio or Heath Ledger, everyone else is a smidge below (Matt Dillon, James Woods, Elias Koteas, Matthew Perry, etc.). Unless by "biggest names" we're really just talking about name recognition and not BIG stars.

    ReplyDelete
  55. This sounds like Winona to me! I was thinking Kirstin Dunst, but I think Winona fits the "dated some of the biggest names in LA" (which suggests not just actors) much better.

    I am so happy they cast Daniel Craig as Blomquist. I was also worried it'd be Brad Pitt. I am still worried about Lisbeth because the actress in the swedish movie was so perfect & I can't see anyone topping that.

  56. awesome balla - She gave money for a reward for Polly Klaus, from Petaluma and did a bunch of things to support that.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Heather Locklear. Though I'm not sure she's B+. For name recognition though she would be.

    ReplyDelete
  58. @Ellen- yep, that's what it was. thanks! my impression of her has been different since i heard about that.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Well to be different I am going to go with Tara Reid.
