Remember Brigette Wilson, the teacher from Billy Madison? I saw her in Shopgirl and didn’t recognize her for some time. I think she hacked up her nose. It doesn’t look horrible at first glance, but she doesn’t have the same range of expression and she definitely doesn’t look like before. ---

[QUOTE=Evil Captor] She still looks good, but she’s returned to the ordinary world as opposed to the hyperbeauty she had in Flashdance. [/QUOTE] But that was only momentary. In most of the movie she was merely gorgeous, as she is now. In the “Firefly” board Adam Baldwin was asked who he took to the Prom. His reply was, “Jennifer Beals.” I’ve hated him ever since. ---

Lauren Tom. She was cute on **Friends** as Ross’s girlfriend Julie, but I saw her the other night on a show and she looked like hell. ---
