Here’s a woman who should have done more nude scenes. Props to De Palma for getting her naked in this film!

Tuna’s DVD collages:
I think that was her only good nude role. Her only other topless appearance that I can recall was in a John Frankenheimer action film called Dead Bang (1989), and that amounted to little more than a nip-slip.
A man kills a storekeeper and a cop. LASD homicide detective Jerry Beck gets the case. His murder suspect is connected to a heavily armed white supremacy group
I’ve noticed that there are very few lightly armed white supremacy groups.
And pacifist white supremacy groups are right out.

Penelope is still acting, still looks good at 61. She played Nancy Reagan in that film where Dennis Quaid played The Gipper.
Very attractive woman. And I agree with Scoop that it would have been nice to see more of her undressed, but I am grateful for what we have.
Between The Freshman and Kindergarten Cop she was one of my 90’s crushes.
Let’s not forget that she was in “The Artist” which won 5 Oscars.
She also played Rudy Giuliani’s wife in a TV movie. Opposite James Woods.
I, uh, hope she doesn’t get type-cast.
She always had nice tits. I had a thing for her in the early 90s either though I did hear she was kind of a diva on the set of “Carlito’s Way” as John Leguizamo did play a prank on her. It was a tense production at first until de Palma was directing Luis Guzman for a scene and Luis went “Brian, I don’t act. I just do it”. de Palma laughed and said “OK everyone, get on your mark and Luis is going to do it” as everything went smoother after that.
C’mon, man. Where’s the 2025 poll?
Relax in your slacks, this isn’t something Scoopy forgets. My phone plugs into the wall and even I know there’s prep involved.
The prelim poll is usually around Christmas time, I try to post the final poll in the week between XMas and New Year’s Day, and the results are usually posted on Jan 1 or 2 …
… but it is about time to start collecting (and adding to) the nominees.
Crockett had a good scene in “Dead Bang” where, the morning after a good drunk, he foot-chased a guy he wanted to question, caught him, then puked on him.
Her breasts looked awesome on a big high-quality movie screen- like the old Uptown in DC.
