It was so a chick story, with two strong female characters.

I think I agree with you, though it seems like we should be able to separate the actor from the character he/she portrays. Hmm. One thing novelists don't have to worry about! Our characters live only in readers' minds--they don't have a physical persona.

Second, yes, I do wonder about the actors behind the characters. I'm usually trying to figure out how they tapped into that character -- if they ever bonded with the character and if that bonding happened due to some common emotional link that happens in the story and happened in the actor's life. I guess I do that with books, too.
