Advanced SearchThis gifted comedienne and actress had a very diffident beginning and started off as a model and a dancer before she stepped into the world of showbiz. She was the attractive young actress with whom the directors of the 80s aspired to work with. Ten years and several A-list movies later, her luck appeared to have run out. After a series of unsuccessful bids for movie roles and repeated dejection, she retreated from Hollywood for a while. Although she worked on several projects, her career never really took off. She was soon cast in a few roles in films and cable TV shows thanks to a much-publicized court case. Several media reports have listed exploits of her nutty behaviour ranging from her attempts to crash parties and her constant removal from shoots and films. She rejected a number of film offers, which later went on to become critical and commercial successes. Although her film career never really touched the pinnacle of success, she is in most people’s eyes, ‘a comeback waiting to happen’. Currently she continues to pursue her acting dreams and is seen in shows like ‘The Young and the Restless’ and ‘Skating with the Stars’. To learn more about this skilled actor, read on. Quick Facts
