Elizabeth Berkley

Elizabeth Berkley fascinates me as a case study in how time reshapes a reputation. Jessie Spano made her a teen-TV fixture, and Showgirls buried her under Razzies, yet that same film is now studied and reclaimed by critics who once mocked it. To me, the real story is her courage: she swung hard for a risky, exposed role and refused to disappear when the backlash came. A UCLA-trained Michigan kid who weathered that storm and kept working has my full admiration. Performers who survive a public mauling are the ones I respect most.
