Debbie Dinsdale is a role unlike any other she's portrayed before. She is demure and trapped amidst the chaos of a small town and the rival vacuum companies. The only character that reminded me a little bit of Debbie is Moira Kennedy in Strange Hearts as both are fragile dreamers and the object of affection of both a character called Jack and an actor named Kip Pardue. Like Strange Hearts, this role allows Rose to use her big and expressive brown eyes to convey emotion while her dialogue is at times minimal. The result? She is magnetic to watch. Stealing Bess sees Rose at perhaps her most graceful to date.

• "You don't understand. But that's what I like about you."

• "You don't need fish to fish."

• "You think too much."

• Premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2003.

• Rose was briefly involved with Kip Pardue, whom she also co-starred with in Strange Hearts.

• For this role, Rose dyed her jet-black hair to a carroty-blonde, which she calls the 'Ann-Margret color'. Rose was in the beauty parlor for 10 hours while they tried to lift all the black dye. "There's been so much dark for so long, it took a long, long time to get it light."
