Name actresses that were hot in few films, but not hot in most of their films?
Can anyone name actresses that were hot in few films, but not hot in most of their films? This topic has nothing to do with aging or plastic surgery, just attractive actresses that choose to be not as hot as they could be in most of their films.
1. Tea Leoni: I first acknowledged her in Bad Boys. She was a hot 29 year old in this flick. And practically right after Bad Boys, she turned into a motherly-type actress. Good looking yes, but not hot. She was playing a hot pregnant lady in Flirting With Disaster as well, but I can't even remember that film. When I think of Tea Leoni, I think of The Family Man and Deep Impact. I hope she gets another sexy Bad Boys-type role. Age doesn't matter. She can still do it.
2. Helen Mirren: This is a slightly different scenario. She had hot roles when she was younger, but during her middle to old age years, she hasn't done any hot roles. In all her recent movies, they make her goofy looking, older looking, or they don't emphasize her beauty. She is the hottest old actress. I am waiting for her to be a James Bond gilf. The only time we ever get to see Helen Mirren hot now is during any of those award shows. I would like to see Shadowboxer but I hear it's a really bad film, but supposedly she plays of age in that movie and sexy as well.
3. Cate Blanchett: Just NOTES ON A SCANDAL for me. She's a great actress, but she's always playing strong, crazy, intelligent, cold, icy characters and doesn't show sexy enough.
4. Jennifer Connelly: In my eyes, she has been wearing a psychological burka in all her post-Oscar films. I bet she feels embarrassed about her very earlier sexy films.
Can anyone think of any other actresses like this?

I just saw the scenes with Zoe Saldana and Mila Kunis in 'After Sex'.
Neither one of them belongs in this thread...

I'm not sure what's going on with Renee Zellweger in Appaloosa. She looks horrible in that film, yet all the men in that movie are pissing their pants over her and remarking about how beautiful she is.

Kathleen Turner. Was hot for three or four years, then not for the next twenty-five.

Phoebe Cates
She was smoking hot in Fast Times and Paradise, but in later movies like Gremlins 1 & 2, Drop Dead Fred and Date With An Angel, she was cute but not nearly as sexy.

Apparently Mirren insisted on it and choreographed the scene herself, because she wanted to show Ayn Rand was a woman of physical as well as intellectual conviction.
I mean, she's a senior citizen now, so it's pretty unreasonable to expect her to be doing "hot roles," but it's not like she stopped portraying sexuality after the 1970s.

Getting back to the original question:
Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest boggled my mind. I could hardly believe it was her

I agree with Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest and Cameron Diaz in The Mask. They were only hot in those films.
Here's another one:
Kate Bosworth in BLUE CRUSH.

I have a horrible feeling we're gonna be saying this about Megan Fox in a few years. I hope she proves me wrong.

Robert Rodriguez made Fergie look attractive in Planet Terror, and she hasn't ever looked that good before or since.

This probably won't be a popular choice, but Jessica Alba was hot in Idle Hands and Never Been Kissed, but since then, I think she lost it.

She basically looks the same in all her movies but Gwyneth Paltrow is gorgeous in Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Aside from those two movies I've never found her all that attractive.
