Happy Birthday, Téa Leoni!

Born this day in 1966.

Mmm, mmmm, mmmm. Téa is one of those actresses for whom I'm perfectly willing to sit through an awful movie just to see. (Well, except Spanglish, of course. One has to draw the line somewhere.)

UPDATE: No doubt you're asking, "Tom, what's wrong with Spanglish? Two words: Adam Sandler. Can't bear him. Not even for Téa.

Yips! from Gary:
Actually, I can think of a much better reason as to why "Spanglish" isn't the best film for appreciation of Téa:

Next to Paz Vega, she's chopped liver. Especially in that crying scene where here nose gets all red and runny.

And yes, gentlemen, a Google image search with "safesearch" turned off will net you a whole lot more...

Yips! back from Robbo: You want to go with the safety protocols dropped, my friend?

With her hair done up, there's something like 6'5" of Tea, most of it leg. She'll vobiscum your Paz.

I agree about Spanglish.

And the Google search!

Mmmmm... Paz Vega: Like Penelope Cruz, only with brains. And soul. And sex appeal. And....

Um, did you say something?

Yum, yum, yum.

I have to agree about Tea Leoni, who in addition to being all kinds of hot is also a decent comediennce. That's a rare combination. And I'm sorry to say I have first-hand knowledge of just how awful Spanglish was. Although if you Google on "Spanglish recipe" you can find out how to make the sandwich Adam Sandler made in the movie, minus the annoying presence of Adam Sandler.

With Tea Leoni, the voice goes a long way, too. Like a young Kathleen Turner.

Is it me or does the first pic of Tea look a lot like Jan Smithers/Bailey Quarters?

"With Tea Leoni, the voice goes a long way, too. Like a young Kathleen Turner."

Yup, both annoy the hell out of me.
