Beautiful Mia and her bad choices

I fell in love with Mia while watching "Legend" back in 1986. I remember thinking how there was no other actress out there like Mia, she had a unique, natural beauty and incredible screen presence (i.e.-charisma). She also showed a wonderful range in this film as she went from innocent princess to possessed Dark Lord's intended.....although Tim Curry added real substance with his demon potrayal, he had lot's of help with makeup and voice enhancements. Mia, young, beautiful and inexperienced, carried this film, in spite of the presence of a lackluster Tom Cruise performance. Mia was very good the following year in "Ferris Bueller's Day off", but despite having unique appeal, started down a path of bad choices thereafter, that never allowed her to show her true potential or abilities. I'm still in awe watching her in "Legend", as I do from time to time. She was wasted in almost everything else, or relegated to being just eye candy. What a shame.

She was beautiful no doubt but the hairiest *beep* arms i've ever seen on a woman, lol, i could tell she was Italian before even Googling her.

My first sexual awakening was watching Darkness tower over goth Mia Sara

yes and no. she may have not been in too much notable things in her latter career, or played a smaller part in something more notable, or perhaps didn't get parts to show her true range, i look at her imdb listing and see a few projects, on top of legend, bueller and timecop, that i wouldn't mind watching for her and the story. the tv movies jack and the beanstalk, time traxx, dorothy and oz and 20,000 leagues especially.

She was doing straight-to-video stuff by the early 90s. Very sad.
