What happened to Gabrielle Anwar?

She starred in Scent of A Woman, Body Snatchers, and Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken?


Is she a B movie star now?

Pretty much. I think most people gave up on her terrible acting talents. A pretty face can only bring you so far:

Hey now! I thought she was pretty good in "Body Snatchers." Oops, sorry, I just immediately go to the defense of a pretty young actress willing to disrobe.

I actually liked her in that movie. She did a decent job.

Yeah, she was quite the beauty and one of my favorite actresses to look at (especially as Jason Bovberg mentioned in Body Snatchers), but just not much there in the acting department unfortunately.

I think so.

Saw "Flying Virus" (aka Killer Buzz) on the dish a few months back when I was bored to tears. It's a B-movie and a bad one at that.

It also cast Rutger Hauer and Craig Sheffer - who seemed to be living in B-movie territory.

Have you seen her recently? She either has a drunken plastic surgeon, or is aging very poorly.

Aw, man, I hate to hear that. I almost don't want to see that, and keep my memory of her intact, but...oh, all right, where might I find recent pics?

I saw her in a movie called Kimberly, which is only a few years old, and she still looked pretty damn hot. I think the IMDB shot is just a bad pic; bad lighting and makeup.

I just went back and re-read the original post. I wouldn't call what she did in Scent of a Woman "starring". Wasn't she only in that movie for a few minutes at the end?

She resurfaced on Burn Notice the USA Network show.

She looks ok but she is too skinny.

And nasty fat lip injections. She used to be hot. Why do women insist on messing up their face with lip injections?

She's purty...was she ever considered an up-and-coming, rising star a la Julia Styles or Rachel Leigh Cook?

This is an unanswerable question. There's not a straight man on the planet who gives a shit, and yet they keep doing it.

You are assuming, of course, that it's done for our benefit. Sometimes, people do things because they think it's what's expected of their in-group. I mean, I read some pretty lame Star Wars paperbacks back in the day because I wanted to keep my geek membership active. I didn't do it to impress girls (obviously); I did it because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

I thought she was good opposite Michael J. Fox in For Love or Money.
