I had no idea she had made so many movies. I liked her in The Hateful Eight. I did not connect her and Kurt Russell were in that movie and Backdraft until seeing her UMR Top 4.
Hey Taylor….good to hear from you. Yes indeed, she has been a very busy actress. Yep…her two Kurt movies are two of her most famous movies. Glad we could connect those dots for you. Good stuff as always.
I’ve seen 13 of the 48 films on the chart, less than I thought. Favorites are – Backdraft, The Hitcher, Flesh Blood, eXistenZ, The Hateful Eight, Road to Perdition and Annihilation.
Looking at the stats – Backdraft is her biggest hit. I remember renting that from my local Blockbuster, nearly 30 years ago!
I haven’t seen her top rated film Short Cuts. No.1 on the UMR chart is Road to Perdition – which was based on a comic book series (cue confused looks).
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….thanks for the feedback on Jennifer Jason Leigh. I have seen 30 of her movies…so you are only 17 behind. We have some of the same favorites…as I love Flesh + Blood, Backdraft and The Hitcher (an ending I did not see coming…I was expecting a Hollywood save). Always good to remember Blockbuster….oh those were the days. She has a short but memorable role in Short Cuts…..she plays a sex phone girl….in one scene she is changing her baby’s diaper while having a X rated conversation with a stranger on the phone. Good stuff as always.
The Hudsucker Proxy was one of my best of 1994. Tim Robbins who was in that with Jennifer also was in The Shawshank Redemption that year, another of my 10 best.
Jennifer is # 342 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon list. These are the actors on the list she has appeared with.

Hey Dan. Thanks for the trivia breakdown on Jennifer Jason Leigh Leigh. Debbie and I just watch fast Times at Ridgemont high last night. Amazingly she had never seen it before, while I have vivid memories of seeing it in theaters when I was in high school. The first time I saw Hudsucker proxy I was not too impressed, but I repeat viewings I’ve enjoyed it more.Not surprised she has a spot on the Oracle list as she’s been extremely busy for almost 40 years. Lots of connections on the first list, below average we’re looking at the second list. However both list are filled with many people I like. As always your efforts are greatly appreciated
Excellent UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
Great UMR Page
