Jeff Bridges...

I watched Crazy Heart last Saturday before

the Oscar telecast and was mesmerized by

Jeff Bridges' total lack of self-consciousness in

the role as Bad Blake. I knew he absolutely

had to win.

After watching Crazy Heart, I started to think

about Jeff's other great performances.

One of my favorites was The Door in the Floor (2004)

co-starring Kim Basinger. Jeff plays a children's book

author in the adaptation of John Irving's A Widow for One Year.

If you haven't seen the film, I highly recommend it.

While watching Bravo's Kel on Earth this week,

I was reminded of another brilliant performance from Jeff.

In one of Kelly Cutrone's offices hung the poster for

American Heart. Although Jeff is always easy on the eyes,

I am not sure he has ever looked more ruggedly

handsome than he did in American Heart's

poster artwork displayed above
