My Take
Eszter Balint sits exactly in the sort of artist I gravitate toward, someone who refuses to be one thing. Born in Budapest in 1966, Hungarian-American, she's a singer, songwriter, violinist and actress all at once. I love that her film debut came in Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise, a touchstone of American independent cinema, and that she later earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Bail Jumper. That tells me she was taken seriously as an actor, not just a musician moonlighting. The fact that she still keeps an official site suggests an artist who has stayed in control of her own work, which I admire.
