She could've made Helen a campy stereotype, but instead, she made her seem very comfortable with her approach to live. I found myself respecting her. (That's also thanks to the script, I'd say, which was generous enough never to shame her for being kind of dumb.) Brooke, I totally agree about Rosamund Pike.
