She was also easy on the eyes in “A Few Good Men”. Much prettier than Jack Nicholson. 🙂

Jamie Lee Curtis said it best upon being nominated for her 2023 Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once: “I’m 64 years old. I’ve been an actor since I was 19. I made horror films and sold yogurt that makes you shit. I never thought I would hear my name at the Oscars.” This year, after winning the award and enjoying a career renaissance, Curtis is back in the headlines for her work on The Last Showgirl.
That film stars Pamela Anderson…
One of the prevailing narratives of this year’s awards season leading up to the Oscars has been that of the return to the limelight of beloved veteran actors who the public thought had disappeared for good. Like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, several mature performers and their agent put together campaigns year after year meant to reinvent their personas — the archetypal “I’m ready for my spotlight” moment. In 2025, that rallying cry, an expert blend of marketing and poetic justice, is being sounded by no one so much as Demi Moore, 62.
Upon being crowned Best Actress at the Golden Globes for The Substance, a film full of meta messaging that winks at her own treatment by Hollywood, Moore recalled the start of her career in a potent acceptance speech. “I’ve been doing this a long time — like, over 45 years — and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor […] I do belong.” A compelling narrative isn’t just necessary to take home treasured statuettes. It can also power yesterday’s stars toward a new career chapter, one that actually celebrates their age.

Demi was such hot stuff in St. Elmo’s Fire. Ah, the 80s.
Jaime Lee Curtis is such an amazing actress because she is able to play intelligent women. It’s easy for a smart person to play dumb. It is hard for a dumb person to play smart. But I have to hand it to her she does smart well for a stupid liberal.
Jamie Lee Curtis’ only claim to notoriety was taking off her top in front of a mirror.
She was also easy on the eyes in “A Few Good Men”. Much prettier than Jack Nicholson. 🙂
True that. And Pamela Anderson did a good acting job by pretending her boobs were real.
I think she was a journalist on “General Hospital” in the ‘80s. Maybe John Stamos was on GH at the same time. The Luke-and-Laura days.
Speaking of second chances, I was watching an episode of “Accused” yesterday and I recognized the voice of main character, but couldn’t quite place her, so had to look up the cast of that episode. Debra Winger. Weird.
Yeah, but Jack made that movie. They don’t quote any lines from Moore or Tom Cruise.
Pam and Tommy (Hulu miniseries) was surprisingly good.
> Yeah, but Jack made that movie. <
He sure did! Everyone else was just a bit player in comparison. But I’d still rather be stranded on a desert island with Demi than with Jack.
(Unless Jack is somehow skilled at building a very sea-worthy raft.)
They can win awards given by liberal committees, but can they win audiences?
Everyone loves a good come back story
So they are saying today’s actors are so bad, they have to recycle 60 year old former Hollywood stars?
Classy.
My wife went to the Demi Moore movie this evening.
She didn’t like it...
Demi did full nudity trying to get attention. It’s a Horror Movie.
They say Demi is horrible on set.
They call her Give Me More Demi Moore.
Pamela’s movie is the one worth watching and a tasteful script! “Last Showgirl” - recommend!
Trump is my favorite good comeback story
Mine too. Was thinking just that as I posted this.
