FLASH IN THE PAN BABES OF THE EIGHTIES
Jennifer Beals: the doe-eyed brunette from Flashdance. Best line from breakthrough movie: "It sucks" when asked by her date how she liked her lobster. Was in a Frankenstein flick thereafter and then disappeared. Her bio indicates she was in Runaway Jury but I cannot for the life of me place her character. Things must be on the ropes because she is reportedly campaigning for an on-screen lip-lock with Sarah Michelle Geller, a candidate for an honorable mention as a Flash in the Pan Nineties Babe.
Posted by LMC at March 22, 2005 08:54 PMHer agent must have been terrible; after Flashdance she could have done anything. She had Sandra Bullock/Julia Roberts financial potential. But she decided to go to Yale and then was in that horrible Frankenstein movie with Sting (any film with Sting in it is a one way ticket to oblivion). From there straight to obscurity. Now she makes out with other women on cable. Sad.

Hey, don't knock The L Word till you've tried it -- when Jennifer's character got caught cheating on her pregnant girlfriend, I nearly grabbed the Kleenex meself (still secure in my manhood and my Maxim subscription...)
Posted by: LDH at March 23, 2005 10:30 AM(on review) I suppose I shoulda qualified what I was doing with that Kleenex, huh?...
Posted by: LDH at March 23, 2005 10:31 AMIsn't she the one that had the nose job and therefore no one could recognize her? Didn't she have that crappy sitcom It's Like, You Know? or am I thinking of someone else.
Posted by: Misspent at March 23, 2005 11:38 AMI think you are thinking of Jennifer Grey. Gray? From Dirty Dancing.
Posted by: Sarah at March 23, 2005 01:34 PMYes, you are correct. I was getting my FITP BOTEs mixed up.
