• Jacki deserves more than Tarantino. I love Tarantino, believe me, adore him, but do not pigeon-hole Jacki into roles about criminal matriachs. She can do comedy along the lines of Diane Keaton & Stockard Channing, she is perfect at it. I saw her in a stage production of “Born Yesterday” years ago in which she triumphed. Narrow minded US casting directors, you have a diamond in your hand, believe me, polish and she will shine in any role. I can see her in Aronofsky films and the Coen boys will love her. Woody’s casting directors take note, and Tim Burton, she is all yours if u want her. Jacki rules! In my own opinion

• Met Jackie in Sydney before a “Uncle Vanya” performance. This was just after she got word of her Golden Globe nomination. She was so nice to meet and took time to chat with me & pose for a picture. On another day in Sydney, saw her walking down a street near the STC, and she was the same – very nice to fans who wished her well as they spotted her. Will be hoping she does well at the Oscars.

• I agree that Jacki would be a natural fit in a Tarantino film – she has stated she would love to work with him and Tarantino did hail Animal Kingdom as one of his top three movies of the year – but I also agree with babs that he should write her a role that isn’t some type of criminal. Maybe something along the lines of what he came up with for Mélanie Laurent for Inglourious Basterds.
