- <p> Any resemblance between the prostitute protagonists in Miami
- Blues and Last Exit to Brooklyn is not coincidental. Jennifer
- Jason Leigh plays both, but with a difference. "As in any
- profession, people aren't all the same," says Leigh, 28. After
- wrapping a film, Leigh is "affected for a while. I embrace the
- character completely, and I never know when it will shut off."
- She emerged from the harrowing Last Exit "full of
- self-confidence because Tralala [inset] was a fighter who, on
- some level, felt she was better than everyone else." One role
- she doesn't seek is stardom. Yet it's hers for the taking.
