Trying to remember this 80’s/90’s actress.

I thought Meg Foster was her at first so she kind of looks like her but is blonde.

I can’t even remember what she was in but it’s lots of stuff.

It’s kind of driving me crazy. She’s very pretty, and doesn’t smile a lot. She had leading lady looks but I don’t think she ever got super famous.

I think she did mostly movies playing girlfriend roles.

This is Meg Foster who she looks like but she’s blonde, her eyes aren’t as light.

Any ideas?

I think I got it - Jessica Tuck.

She was in an episode of Seinfeld, was a soap opera star, and did some movie and TV work in the 80s and 90s. She was a newscaster in Batman Forever:

No.. way flatter cheekbones and she didn’t smile in a big way. She was kinda icy.

[–] jekporkins (1985) 5 years ago

How about Darlanne Fluegel? She was in Running Scared and To Live & Die In L.A. Similar eyes, never smiles...

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Some else suggested Fluegel. No. Flatter cheekbones and smaller eyes.

You mean kind of like Rebecca DeMornay? Which of the actresses mentioned does she resemble the most?

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

No, I was thinking of DeMornay bc she’s from that era. The only one I see a resemblance with is Meg Foster.

[–] Stratego (31085) 5 years ago

Dang, this one's difficult. Each one of us would probably think she looks like a whole different actress!😁

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

And it’s only watching the first season of Cagney and Lacey where she looks like her. In online pics, not at all..

[–] tsrt (1177) 5 years ago

Is there anyone else she looks like?

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

No! It’s so weird. She has such a distinctive look but isn’t famous and I can’t remember a darn thing she was in.

Well, she wasn’t on Seinfeld. I just went through all the guest stars who played Jerry’s love interest.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

I guess she was on Seinfeld

Do you realize how many people you're keeping up at night trying to figure this out?? 😉

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Haha! I can’t take responsibility for the people who respond to my silly question. But I am glad for the help in what’s distracting me. :)

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

To be honest, this is a question I sincerely want to find an answer to. But it’s also a distraction from the horrible laws that are taking effect that say that a man with a penis can say that he is a woman and come into my private lady spaces, win all the accolades in my sports, tell me I’m not a woman for all that makes me a woman and it goes on and on. THAT is what keeps me up at night. Figuring out this actress distracts my mind from the horrors of my society.

[–] Stratego (31085) 5 years ago

I'll give it another try!

Dana Wheeler-Nicholson?

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

HIP HIP HOORAY! Hip hip hooray!!! YES THAT’s HER!!!

Thank you Stratego!!!

[–] Stratego (31085) 5 years ago

Yay!!!!!🥳🥂

I decided to take a look at all the big releases for every year and started with 1985. And BOOM, Fletch was it!😆

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Fletch! Clever way to figure it out. I was doing lots of searches like 80’s blonde actresses but only being shown the big stars. I was remembering her in Tombstone I think. I was on a Val Kilmer kick and saw it a lot.

Where's that Foghorn Leghorn strut??

Fletch has the answers to all of life's important questions.

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 5 years ago

Believe it or not, there are two actresses with the same name. I guess it's the first one.

[–] Stratego (31085) 5 years ago

The second one is actually called Diane and apparently she's Dana's aunt.

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 5 years ago

Get out of here.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Haha!

[–] BourbonKing (5789) 5 years ago

Mary Stavin

Muriel Hemingway

Cis Rundle

Melissa Sue Anderson

Connie Nielsen

Mia Kirshner

Amy Stock Poynton

Donna Dixon

Deborah Shelton

Cindy Morgan

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Thanks for the list. Stratego found her. Dana Wheeler Nicholson

[–] BourbonKing (5789) 5 years ago

Good catch, but in her younger days she was more of a dead ringer for Rosemund Pike or Jenna Elfman LOL

Looking at Dana today she does look just as haggard as Meg Foster does though *ouch*

[–] keybored (2668) 5 years ago

Adrienne Barbeau or Clare Higgins?

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Dana Wheeler Nicholson
