What happened to her career?


She started out in some pretty big blockbuster movies and now she's in B-movieville? Is she hard to work with or something?

Her career started dwindling before she turned 46...which evidently doesn't help either.

I read somewhere that at the height of her success in the 90's, her ego shot through the roof and she became "difficult." I'm not sure how much of it is true but it would explain it

she's a known social climber that pulled too much of the "I'm not like Hollywood" routine..

she's also kind of dumb but thinks she's smart and has a bigger ego than her career. . . so, pair that up with the "I'm not like other girls/celebs routine and being a guppy when it comes to biz deals.

it's probably more that she's just personally unlikable -- she was pretty hated in the UK, too --- ok in short bursts but socially exhausting. Most think she's fake and they recognize she's a climber, so they don't trust her. Frankly, shocked she hasn't become a reality star by now... with her physically large bobble head.

Most thought she should have pushed harder for a music career.. she likely would have had one but she didn't want to become known as as a "country" star in her debut and they were promoting to her much as the actress Minnie Driver that could sing rather than a multiinstrumentalist singer, songwriter.

Her career overall is pretty half assed. She won't fight for a role and she's only as good as the surrounding actors.
