Beautiful, talented and underrated actress


I've always wished that Olivia D'Abo would have had a bigger film career. She has the talent but has largely been wasted in junk. But on TV she was phenomenal as the hippie sister Karen in The Wonder Years and more recently as the psychotic criminal Nicole Wallace in Law & Order: Criminal Intent. She was radiant as the young writing student Jane in Noah Baumbach's excellent Generation X comedy Kicking and Screaming, and also proved she could tackle more mature roles as a porn star in The Velocity of Gary and a grungy, slutty white-trash woman from the wrong side of the tracks who has an affair with a much older man (Armin Mueller-Stahl) in The Last Good Time.

Moreover she is extremely beautiful - far prettier and more natural than your average Hollywood blonde - and has such a fresh, appealing presence. Her overbite is just the cutest!

She's average looking and a *beep* actress. You're an idiot.
