In fact, a scene in a train station for which Elliott did use a body double still bothers Judd. The waitresses at Sylvia's are starting to circle Judd's table like birds. They've figured out that this woman with the wary eyes and ten-speed mouth is the one on the movie posters. Finally, one darts in to say how much she loved Kiss the Girls . Then the deluge begins.
More waitresses pop by and diners lean across the aisle to say hi.
Hollywood loves labels, and after the one-two punch of Kiss the Girls and Double Jeopardy , Judd has been labeled Action Girl, a tough babe whose satiny skin is stuffed with grit. The momentum of Double Jeopardy , for example, carried Eye of the Beholder to number one on a slow opening weekend in January, and got Judd short-listed as Jodie Foster's replacement in the Silence of the Lambs sequel. Little movies that I've looked at, all of a sudden they can be financed. I think that to continue to strike a balance between types and genres is premium. Despite Judd's success, she went after her upcoming roles just as assertively as her last, and they are decidedly nonaction.
