his kind. But Nicholson can credit Chinatown as his start as A-list regular. Even being said that Nicholson “is one of the most interesting actors now working…” (Ebert, par.6).

John Wayne plays a stubborn, but strong willed man in Red River. Playing Thomas Dunson came off as one of the more believable performances. Wayne uses his voice much more than his body.

Once things start to pick up, you can almost feel the difference in character because…

Monster Sarah looked up at the doctors as they watched her. Her fingers slipped into the hospital gown as she watched them. They were whispering to each other. Her parents stood with their backs to her as they talked to a female doctor. Sarah rubbed the soft fabric between her fingers, trying to relax. She wished she knew what they were telling her parents, it didn’t look encouraging. “Sarah…” His voice whispered in her head. Goosebumps ran up her arms as she smiled. Sarah could feel him…
