#ReneeZellweger #UCLA #Acting - Zábava
I am totally fixated on everything about Pam Hupp! I think Rene deserves awards for her portrayal! She is absolutely outstanding!
Agreed, her performance was astounding
Absolutely agree!
I couldn’t agree more!!!
@Home - Grandpa? And what does you comment even mean?
She truly does. I grew up and lived not even 25 minutes away from this tragedy that Pam Hupp committed in 2011 and it wasn't covered locally in the media like it should have been. Corrupt doesn't begin to describe Lincoln County.
She definitely deserves an award for her performance. She totally nailed it.
I feel like Renee Zellweger is an extraordinaire person, love all her performances, She's unique indeed.
She actually acts, plays someone other than herself unlike so many actors these days.
I do agree. I define good acting by not playing oneself. Alan Arkin comes to mind.💖🤩🌻🌻🌻
Exactly
@@annamarielewis7078 - I really like Alan Arkin. Are you saying he plays characters like himself?
Random thought but I adore how attentive, respectful, and engaged she is with the interviewers; Renée Zellweger is such a class-act with whatever she does, not to mention the show is absolutely enthralling!
Im really happy for Renee, she is just amazing.
Agreed.
thank for the comment
Renee Zellweger is one of the greatest actresses. Pretty much blows most everyone out the water.
I have always really liked Renee. She's a gentle spirit and did an incredible transformation with this role. Her walk is the best replication. If you watch "The thing about Pam" peep at the way she walks.
She's a very talented woman. Deserves an award for her portrayal as Pam
For me she nailed the way Pam pursed her lips and scrunched up her nose and the way she would go from a bit of a ditz to a complete stone cold lier.
Oh yes! That walk 😂😂 It’s a very jazzy sort of strut.
Her new series is riveting, and she’s playing a character you just love to hate, I can’t get enough of this show.
Renee should absolutely get any award for her portrayal of Pam Hupp.
Yeah I had just listened to a podcast about Pam Hupp about a month before the show came on. So I knew I wanted to watch it. Renee did just amazing
I am hooked! So sad just one more episode left.
same.. she does SUCH a good job as pam...Its one of those "Truth is stranger than fiction" cases for real
@@izzyjones7108 it truly is a head scratcher. Never designate your financially unstable friend as a beneficiary on your life insurance. policy. Things can go terribly wrong.
I once met Renee at my gym in Santa Fe, she was friendly beautiful and worked out pretty hard under a hoodie...✨
Nice
Renée Zellweger is so beautiful! I love that she has her own beauty not a trendy one, but an authentic one!
You said Renee has her own beauty, not a trendy one. What is a trendy beauty?
Her face isn't even close to being authentic. It's pretty done over with plastic surgeries.
@Destroy all Soy - I was curious about that because of her facial expressions.
So glad to see she’s back on screen again. And amazing that she studied international law - she looks happy.
Back on screen? She just won an academy award for judy recently
She always captivates me. Love her.
thank for the comment
Renee was excellent as Judy!! She is a phenomenal actress many different levels of skills!
An excellent show and Rene gives an incredible performance!
She's such a lovely and gentle Soul
She was just amazing as bridget Jones and so funny 🇬🇧
She does an excellent job in this show. I appreciate Renee always taking chances with her roles. She was perfect as Judy Garland too. 💖
thank for the comment
Loving her character....shes amazing playing PAM.....im enjoying it all!!! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Renee is one of my favorite actresses ever, and she looks beautiful here! Love her soft, natural makeup.
I am stoked to see this!
Renée is talented and GORGEOUS! I love her so much! One of my favorite movies is Cold Mountain-she was outstanding!!
I agree. She and Brendan Gleeson absolutely carried that movie! She brings a professional workman-like approach to her performances that is rare - equalled only by Kathy Bates.
There’s something very calming about Renée.
Renee Zellweger is doing a great job, you really hate Pam Hupp in real life and onscreen, and Renee is killing it 🙌🏻
Bravo to her performance!!! What an amazing cast!! Give us more!
Always been one of my favorite actresses. Once I saw Jerry Mcguire, she had me hooked. Truly brilliant !
She has such a nice soft voice
Renee is so talented!
I think Renee is just the most interesting person. And she's beyond adorable!!!
I love her acting in this show - so so good! Kudos 💕
thank for the comment
I love her !!! Such a great actress !!! I’m on the third episode and I’m telling you it’s captivating!!!
Where do you watch it?
@@courtneycoley8487 Hulu has it now
She is looking absolutely gorgeous, Goodness me!
I love Renee, she’s so very humble!
She seems so sweet and humble. Love that she took some time of for studies in international law at the university. 🙀Respect!👍 This interview is so perfect and the interviewers is doing a really good job
Love this series she does such a good job with this role!
thank for the comment
cannot wait to see her new series. she is such a good actress, and beautiful inside and out. So good to see her looking so well.
she looks good, carries herself well, and has great legs. I won't criticize her.
@@calvinshmelvin She does have great legs! She is very athletic and has said she LOVES working out and particularly enjoys working her legs. I relate because I love working legs, too. Her outfits are also always on point as well. ;0)
I love it when older people go back to school. If you have the opportunity, time, and desire, please do it. It's never too late to get more education. It's not for everybody, of course, sometimes money makes it hard but if you get the chance, do it. I love hearing about older people going back to school. Always makes me smile and inspire.
I feel that way about a 70 year old going to school not so much a woman in her late 40s or early 50s who looks 38 but I get what you are saying and it is very sweet of you to say so.
Older? LMAF. You must be quite young.
@@kathrynoneill5862 I went back to school at 40 and got my Masters degree at 52.When you are surrounded by kids that are your children's age, you do feel old and the kids in your class think that you are old,LOL
@@smallhouseinthemeadow6131 that's wonderful! Good for you.
@@smallhouseinthemeadow6131 Yes- this happens to be at work all the time when I cite something from the 1980’s because i remember it. The folks at work weren’t even born yet.
She was so spot on with this role! Love her!!
thank for the comment
The series is absolutely fantastic but at the same time it was about a real situation which is awful all at the same time. Renee did a great job bringing this very bad situation to light
thank for the comment
Still beautiful! Fascinating woman, great actor!
I watched the 1st 3 episodes last night. Renee Zellweger is an amazing actor. I'm a true crime aficionado so I'm excited about this series esp because Keith Morrison is the narrator.
I love Renee Zellweger. She came back in a big way! And I'm here for it!
thank for the comment
Such a great actress!
Never fail to watch any movie she is In. Love her❤️🙏
did you ever see miss Potter with her yet
me too she is great in it
She was amazing. I hope she gets an Emmy for best actress. She really went above and beyond.
An Emmy and a Golden Globe
What a brave actress, I love her work!!!!
Great Actress and amazing woman. Love her.
How refreshing that Renee isn’t all fluff and pretense like many of those in hollywood. Not only is she gorgeous, but elegant and smart.
Renee did an amazing job. All the actors were awesome.
She is so intelligent, classy, charming and beautiful! Love her look!! 😍
Renee Zellweger is so talented and beautiful. God bless her.
Wow, she's more gorgeous than ever!
agreed wow!! Captivating!
I love Renee in this , she is amazing!
I'm really enjoying this "Pam" show. Renee does a great job. Can't wait to see more.
I loved her in that show ! Amazing acting by Rene
Renee you as AMAZING in this role… truly gifted!
I love that she studied international law at UCLA! The interviewers almost missed that entirely.
I love you Renee ❤️
Ohhhh yeahhh!
Yes, dinner .
thank for the comment
I think now she looks very pretty now, healthy and her age. She said she wasn't taking care of herself at one point which is why she stepped back. If you look at her early movies before she became famous, she isn't that different.
Bravo Renee!!! Exceptional performance.
She deserves every award possible she is phenomenal
I love watching her
Love her and watched first episode she kills it
Dude renne has always been one of my favorite actress cold mountain ,case 38,Bridget Jones , what if , Judy , white oleander , chigaco is the boss show .
She's such a cutie pie! I'm glad her eyes are back.Don't know what happened that some photos showed a different look but love her always .
Plastic surgery but she transitioned herself well. I have mad respect for her.
It'd interesting how her eyes her are kind of "squint-ish" (yes, I made up a word) but in this ministries, her eyes are quite wide open and big. Huh... anyways, she's fabulous!
@@movingonandup322 I was wondering about that as well
@@movingonandup322 it’s interesting how her eyes here are squinty… but in the miniseries, they’re rounder. Huh!
@@Karla-mu6hn same.
No one else could have done this!!! She is such an awesome amazing woman!!!
It's the first time in a while that I've commented while watching something, "she's such a great actress!" *spoiler if you haven't seen the show*
At the end of the 2nd episode when they're interrogating her, and the detective first says something that implies she could be involved, she shows a flash of visible shock, her eyes grow wide, and from there on out her crossed leg starts bouncing. I was like, dang, she's actually FEELING the emotion. Amazing!
I love the show and she's perfect for it
Love her! Happy to see her back on the Silver screen.
One of my top five in the "Beautiful Women in a Specific Film" category: "Nurse Betty".
So happy that Renee is back!!! Love her!!!
she is one of the very best actress ever and I can't wait to watch this one
They are the Worst interviewers ever…Renee is All Class. Looking forward to seeing Her in Her new role
She looks amazing
Amazing!
She is a fantastic actress. Doing an excellent job.
The transformation is amazing ...I would have never known ...great job 💥👍👍
Man I have to watch this show I forgot about it was coming. I'm from St Louis and this happened in St Louis in 2011.
Renee better get an award for playing this role - she was absolutely fantastic 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👑
It's SO good!! I was hooked from the first episode. She's amazing!!
She is just adorable
She looks so pretty. God Bless 🙏✝️
She's always reminded me of Ellen Pompeo, still does
Right?? They both got work done so now they have that permanent recovery face lol
I just got finished with the series on Amazon Prime. And i must say she NAILED it maybe not looking just like Pam. But her mannerisms and her overall characteristics were spot on. She's truly a class A actor in my book.
This is a great show ! Renee is amazing in this
Renee, always open. Great interview!! Love her.
❤️❤️❤️ a love the way she expressrs herself, gives me the vibe of a family type person, not even a public figure xD which is not bad, i mean, she is so like, friendly ! I feel she might even be a little nervous or be shy, and yer her acting transforms her so so so much! Hats off to this great actress!!!
Great series, I also read the book, "Bone Deep." Renee is great in this, but she's great in everything, she also quietly does her work and doesn't blather on like other celebrities
Even after all that makeup to transform her, Renée was still too beautiful.
I honestly didn't realize it was a true story until I started watching it & I thought Damm, Bridget Jones really let herself go!! 😨😨😨 Lol 🤣🤣
Yay! Renee is looking like her "old" self again! What a great actress! I'm going to check out this show!
Right? Did she reverse her eye surgery? She looks gorgeous with her natural features 💓
@@xeathenia8539 I don't know if she had surgery to reverse it but she looks so much better! I'm so glad she won the best actress for Judy Garland she was fantastic in that!
The fabulous talented Renee ,we love you !
Just finished it about ten minutes ago. Renee did an amazing job. Wow
I'm amazed by what the make up department was able to accomplish for this series. Renee is the perfect actress to portray Pam.
This has to be her 3rd big win… without question. The only way she might not win is if she’s up against Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp. Otherwise, hands down it’s Renee for the win.
This is a awesome performance but if u haven't I highly suggest Michelle Pfeiffer portrayal of Betty Ford
Absolutely superb actress. She was so good acting as Pam Hupp. So good. She deserves an Oscar form that part.
She is a great actress! Enjoying the show a lot.
Wow! Such a brilliant actress 👏🙌❤.
Omg no a total oh my god. Just watched tonight then had to see this interview.
When I saw that Dateline episode I was shocked, one of the most surreal stories
God, I Love Renee, Such a wonderful person and Beautiful!
She does an amazing job in that series! Unbelievable transformation!
I just finished 👀 it this morning.
just watched the first show! Renee looks fabulous in interview
wow..loved her in the miniseries!
I just watched her on What If, and can’t believe that her voice is really soft like a 3 year old’s. I got 2 teenage nieces who also talks like that, and always thought that they were just being babies, but who knew. I mean, Michel’le is one thing, but this chick . By the way, I absolutely loved what if!!!!
I was transfixed. I had to look up the cast list to make sure it was Renee, she was amazing!
