My Take
Lynn-Holly Johnson is a wonderfully unusual figure, a competitive figure skater who slid straight into Hollywood. Her Golden Globe-nominated turn in Ice Castles drew on her real skating, and landing the role of Bibi Dahl in For Your Eyes Only put her in the Bond canon. That she also collected a Razzie shows a career unafraid of risk and range. I'm drawn to performers whose lives swing between acclaim and ridicule, because it usually means they kept trying. The athletic nerve she built on the ice clearly carried over to the screen, and that fearlessness still appeals to me.
