My Take
I have a soft spot for Pia Zadora precisely because she turned ridicule into a kind of armor. The Hoboken-born child performer, who came up through Broadway and even Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, pulled off the unthinkable in the early 1980s: a Golden Globe New Star award and a Razzie Worst Actress in the same breath. Most careers would have crumbled under that, yet she kept singing and performing for years. That Taurus stubbornness, the refusal to disappear when the critics piled on, is exactly the durable kind of star power I find genuinely endearing.
