[edit] Was she in Thank God He Met Lizzie? (...a really good root...?)

My memory might be playing tricks... I was sure that Rachel Griffiths was in Thank God He Met Lizzie, playing the main character's (i.e. actor Richard Roxburgh's) second girlfriend, after Frances O'Connor and before Cate Blanchett. But I can't find anything about it online - am I thinking of a different movie? Whatever it was, I saw it in the 90's.

One scene I remember is where they first met - they were in a pub, and I think she was playing pool, and knocked him, spilling his beer, and using that as an excuse to get introduced. Her next question was something like "Wanna root?" (Austrsalian for "Wanna screw?") He was shy and said something about preferring to get to know people, to which she replied "But if you get to know me you might not like me, and then you'd miss out on a really good root."

I also saw Children of the Revolution (film) (1996) but I don't believe it was that. If it wasn't Thank God He Met Lizzie then I can't be sure it was Richard Roxburgh - might have been a film with David Wenham? Or maybe I've got the right film, wrong actress (i.e. should be Frances O'Connor)? Any ideas?

I was about to change the last line in the body of Thank God He Met Lizzie to "Australian actors Jonathan Biggins and Rachel Griffiths also appeared in the film." (But I didn't). --Chriswaterguy talk 23:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Beauai 21:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)A bit of a pedantic point, but in My Son the Fanatic the prostitute Griffiths plays isn't from London, she's from the town in which the film is set, Bradford.

How do I redirect Rusden to Deakin University? It's the same thing now..so theoretically she is also a Deakin student, just like me yay.Domsta333 12:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gender?

I am a transgender woman. I knew that my birth gender was a mistake by the time I was 14, but no one would do anything to help me because I was under age. I was not able to start hormone therapy until I was 19 and had spent over a year persuading the doctor to prescribe them. I couldn't get my surgery until I was 23, but by that time my body had undergone many secondary changes so that most people can tell my birth gender by my jaw, neck, and wrists. This is a source of constant embarassment, and I wish I could do something to help others like me to get the medical and surgical help they need before their bodies develop incorrectly. I don't know if it's a fact, but Rachel Griffiths looks a lot like a transgender woman. If this is not the case, then I'm sure Ms. Griffiths won't mind my asking. But if I am right, then she is in a unique position to be a spokesperson for this cause. In fact, based on what I know about her, Ms. Griffiths might be willing to undertake a campaign for this cause either way.69.134.14.204 22:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SPOILERS IN THE INTRO

I removed THE FACT THAT HER CHARACTER IN SIX FEET UNDER BECOMES NATE FISHER'S WIFE. IT'S REALLY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR WHOEVER WROTE THAT. THOSE WHO ARE JUST STARTING TO ENJOY THE SERIES AND MAYBE WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE WOMAN (LIKE MYSELF) ARE FORCED TO LEARN THE OUTCOME OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP (A SOURCE OF MUCH EXCITEMENT IN THE FIRST SEASON). LEARN TO NOT SPOIL SHIT, ASSHOLE.
