	A grand 'Canyon' / Frances McDormand's appeal overshadows film's minor flaws
		As a character actress, Frances McDormand has played a range of roles, but the common thread among them is a tremendous solidity.
		McDormand may wear her face and body well, but it's her equanimity, her way of looking at people and taking in their essence, that make audiences want to draw close to her calm center.
		McDormand truly takes on a glamour here, and that becomes significant, as much of "Laurel Canyon" turns on the seductive power of the lifestyle she embodies.

		Which may partly explain the flair for sermonizing that Frances McDormand shows off in ''Almost Famous'' as Elaine Miller, an outraged early-'70s single mom determined to keep her 15-year-old aspiring-music-journalist son off drugs and on track to be a lawyer.
		And in one of the strongest audience-pleasing scenes in the film, McDormand's hard-charging mom brings one of her son's interview subjects, a freewheeling rock star (Billy Crudup), quickly to heel -- over the phone, no less.
		Crowe was equally impressed when, against his wishes, his own mom, Alice -- the inspiration for McDormand's character -- barged up to the actress on her first day of shooting.

		In 1984, McDormand made her film debut playing a somewhat dim-witted adulterous wife in the Coen brothers' Blood Simple, thus beginning an association that would culminate in her marriage to director Joel Coen during the same year.
		In 1988, McDormand found her way back into the Hollywood spotlight, and won an Oscar nomination for her role as a Klan wife who testifies against a good ol' boy sheriff in Alan Parker's Mississippi Burning.
		In 2001, McDormand could be seen playing a camped out version of film-noir's dames of old in Joel Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There, though her subsequent roles in 2002's Laurel Canyon and City By the Sea did not achieve the popular or critical success typical of her past endeavors.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Laurel Canyon" review (2003) Lisa Cholodenko, Frances McDormand, Christian Bale
		Jane, the party-hardy, pushing-50 mom, is played with flaky roach-clip laissez-faire by the droll Frances McDormand -- who is the only person in the cast using her own accent.
		As he's being driven to live conservatively by a burning desire to be nothing like his mother, she's discovering a mild cache of wild oats she never knew she had.
		McDormand is especially good, exposing the selfish shortsightedness of her character's free spirit while maintaining a suppressed insecurity beneath it all.
