Soooo good looking!

Not one post? Helen Slater was a beautiful woman who deserves a post. I loved her as Supergirl, and I enjoyed her in Secret of My Success. And of course, Becky Gelke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq-1CtCPUyo

I've never seen Supergirl. Too many people I respect tell me to avoid it at all costs. I did like her in Ruthless People, though.

I watched Ruthless People again recently, that movie is still pretty good, story and all the performances. Like an 80s screwball dark comedy.

Supergilr is pretty lame, thats all I can say about it, lame. You may as well watch it just to tick it off the list. It has enough good and bad to not be a complete waste of time.

That is surprising. I like her too and I'm sure I've commented so - must have been under some movie title.

She disappeared in the early 90s.

My only recollection of seeing her last was in that stupid Billy Crystal vehicle

same.

Whats the story? She have a family or get dumped into small roles?

[–] theWatcher74 (186) 4 years ago

I think her career was fading and perhaps she got interested in starting a family. Or just got tired of the grind of going up for parts.

It happens a lot. An actor has a little bit of success and looks like they could be headed for big things, but they never really take the next step.

Edit: Looks like she's still acting, but in smaller parts and movies.

Helen has worked regularly since the 80's. IMDB her

[–] BourbonKing (5777) 4 years ago

I did look her up and made my statement based on her scant appearances.

My point was that she went from A-list movie headliners to single episode guest appearances on a handful of TV serials. Lately though, it's been even less than that.

[–] kwestmo (4385) 4 years ago

Helen was never an A list star tho she worked in films and shows of A listers.

Over a 100 acting jobs in mainstream films and shows is successful. Ask someone in the business.
