Jenny never became a household name, but she was the bright spot in several notable 80's films. I always liked her. She was absolutely mesmerizing in Near Dark. She was also really good in Out Of Bounds with Anthony Michael Hall. The World According to Garp, I, Madman, The Wild Life, St. Elmo's Fire, The Lawnmower Man...she always made the best of whatever role she was given.

Her last IMDB credit is from 1998. I wonder what she's been doing for the past 16 years?

I remember hearing that she got heavily into drugs and alcohol. Adrian Passdar even made a comment about how he felt bad for her when someone asked him about Near Dark.

Dana Plato?

I can't say with Jenny Wright what happened there, I guess some people just get old.

It's just odd to think there's only a 6 year difference between her and Jennifer Aniston, 4 years between her and Halle Berry.

I think that's just a curse with people that have that look. Both Diaz and Berkin have aged pretty badly.

I would so fuck the fucking fuck out of Phoebe Cates.

I wonder if this will replace the last Jenny Wright thread as the most bumped thread by newbies.

I think a better haircut (and getting rid of the grey) would do wonders for her. Facially she's holding up pretty well (considering she's in her late 50's).

Damn :( For a long time, she was one of those that just didn't seem to age. The Looks Wall is a cruel mistress.
