Worst Actress Ever, Indeed


She totally ruined 'Less Than Zero' for me.

"It could be a stapler"

I was just going to post a rant on this very subject, thanks for sparing me the effort. I had forgotten what a terrible actress she is (actually, I don't think the word 'actress' can be used at all, even lightly to describe whatever the heck she is attempting to do on screen) until I re-watched 'Less Than Zero' - HORRIBLE...nearly unbearable to watch. There aren't many people who can screw up a good cry on film and boy does she botch it bigtime - can we say 'out of control hysteria gone terribly awry'? Good god she should have gotten booted the first day of filming. And, although i'm sure this will offend someone - she's just not all that to look at either - she reminds me of allysa milano...just geeky, scrawny and pasty...not pleasant in any way, shape or form to look at on screen. My 2 cents - which is worth precisely the same as her lousy performances, i'm sure!
