I remember reading somewhere that Donna Murphy’s performance was "emotionally naked" and I didn’t understand what it meant until I saw this clip. She puts herself out there, her soul and her emotions for all the world to see. In my opinion, that is what an actor should go for every time.
You can see the humility and passion for Giorgio in her eyes. That’s not even Donna, that IS Fosca. She completely disappeared into that role. Fantastic performance.
