Whenever I see her face, I automatically think of her line ‘of course not mother, I’m only here for the food’ in ever after. She was the best part of that film!

She's a very underrated actress. She should get some more leading rolls. Would like to see her in something big.

Love the movie 🏰 "Ever After" I love how they made one of the stepsister's (Melanie) so kind and sweet in the movie 🍿🎥 It's one of my favorites.

This woman does not age!! She's always had the sweetest dollface 😍 😍

Wow! That's exactly how Drew Barrymore sounds like! Dramatic but deep mindset. I keep hearing Melanie start talking like Rose on Two and Half Men, "Oh Charlie". Lol... The first time I heard Melanie in an interview, I had no idea she's really from New Zealand because she's so good with the American dialect. And she's married to Jason Ritter, John Ritter's son, he's a good actor, too. 😊

She's one of the most precious humans 😂🥰🤗

Well, it was in 1994, I happened to see it on some movie channel several years ago. It probably wasn't well received then because they both weren't well known then. Not everyone saw Heavenly Creatures or because it came out in the theaters about 29 years ago. At least the audience cheered for what she's playing in now.

I've been watching this woman for half of my life, and only just now found out....when i tell you the sounds of disbelief and "WHAT IS HAPPENING" when she opened her mouth. I imagine its like when people in America (here find out that our beloved House (Hugh Laurie( is from across. I've witnessed THAT particular mind blow many times and im glad i've experienced it As an actress, I cant admire this woman enought already..or so I thought. HER TALENT for American dialects is unmatched. I've been trained/studied accents and dialects on my own time as well, and spotting dodgy accents/when people slip happens so often it became a huge game for me when i watch cinema. When i tell you how much i've watched her and NEVER HEARD ANY INDICATION...im a little scared of this superhuman talent. Its so much harder than people think . ONE vowel gives you right away and is distracting, and ive never seen her drop it. Im so astounded and feel blessed rn haha

My god, I've never heard their real voice before.

It's crazy how even as one of her most devoted fans I can sometimes forget she is from New Zeland and has still her native New Zealand accent..hearing her speak in her regula voicr can be so weord sometimes because ebery once in awhile you can hear her say some words in her acting American accenta.. I absolutely LOVE HER. In everything she's ever done.. she ALWAYS delivers when in a role and she is iconic and so talented i am so very happy she is FINALLY getting the recognision she so deserves! she is amazing with accents also.. I remember in Coyote Ugly she had that south jersey accent down perfect lol and that's a hard one to get right sometimes.. she's that good that people can't even tell she is doing a fake accent for her role! I know i said it before but i must say it again, ot is so amazing that she is FINALLY getting the roles and the credits with admiration that she has for so very long deserved! She is said to be the NICEST and most down to Earth person in Hollywood, and she is also one of the MOST talented, you KNOW she will always give 110% and nail everything she commits to perfectly no matter how big or small the role is.. she had such a tiny part in The Last of Us but she was so amazing even for that small part she stole that episode and she was the main person for that one! She is lovely and truly deserves all the appreciation and respect she is getting g for her dedication and amazing talent!

Absolutely an amazing and gorgeous woman. I'm so glad she's getting noticed more, she's very underrated. She started to grow on me ever since I saw her in the last of us which she did an awesome job as kathleen by the way. I always liked her from but I'm a cheerleader, heavenly creatures, and two and a half men but now I'm just in love lol. That drew Barrymore bit got to me 😂

shes one of the amazing actresses, loved her movies

I just binge watched the Duplass Brother’s “Togetherness,” and I thought Melanie was extraordinary. I also didn’t know she’s a New Zealander - Meryl isn’t the only actress who can do perfect accents! 😉

Golly she's wonderful and an incredible actor

Her accent is dreamy. 💙
