"The Dead Girl" review, early Oscar consideration Posted: 2006-11-26 Variety has posted a very interestig article on the upcoming "The Dead Girl". Click here to read the full article, the part about Marcia's performance is below. "The emotionally riveting "The Mother" features an exceptional Marcia Gay Harden as Melora, who is told the dead girl found in the field is her runway daughter Krista (Brittany Murphy). Melora ventures to the fleabag motel where Krista last stayed with bedraggled hooker Rosetta (Kerry Washington). A fine study of a grieving mother's stunned realization of how far her child had actually drifted from her, this piece - like the opener and "The Wife" - has the gravitas of a well-drawn short story".
