You know an actress is a good actress when she can play the role of a sweet and innocent witch, captivate you with her charm and charisma, and then make you hate her by playing the role of an obnoxious bisexual.
Or vice versa, depending on which version of rent you saw/watched.
I'm speaking of Idina Menzel, nonetheless! Gawd! That woman is amazing!!!
I just love how much I hate her character in Rent, Maureen!! She's just a fantastic actress!!
