My Take

Bonnie Bedelia is my favorite kind of actor: the one who makes everyone around her more believable. Most people know her as Holly in Die Hard, holding her own opposite both Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman with nothing but composure, but her craft goes back to 1960s theatre and a Theatre World Award won in 1967. She never chased stardom, and I suspect that is exactly why her performances hold up — there is no vanity in them, just technique. Watch how much she communicates with a tightened jaw or a held breath. Hollywood undervalued her; audiences who pay attention never did.
