Did people in the 80s think Adrienne Barbeau was attractive?


And if so.. What drugs were they taking. I like "Creepshow" where she is killed multiple times.

By the time this was made she was losing her face and her boobies were starting to sag (I'll bet those bad boys are pointing straight south, by now. Think Granny from the Playboy cartoons.), but still not too bad, but in the early/middle 70s she was veeeery delectable.

She was embarrassingly ugly. It's beyond belief what passed for "hot" in the ugly 80's.

you and Sorbek just don't get it.

She was embarrassingly ugly.
Sigh... Very sad.

 Dude, she looks like Juan Epstein from "Welcome Back Kotter". You're right, I don't get it. I'm attracted to girls.

Different standards of beauty then. Lot less plastic and botox involved than there is nowadays too.

The first Creepshow was quite good (although someone other than King should have been in his vignette). Nice to see it's still appreciated.

Plastic and Botox have nothing to do with it.

Go to any mall on a Saturday in a southern or western state, between the months of April and September. You can fall down in any direction and land on a sizzling hot 20-something, as natural as the day she was born. Beautiful girls.

Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Loni Anderson, etc., they were all so gross.

She looks like Joey Tempest. http://i26.tinypic.com/i252fo.jpg

There have always been a lot of rumors that Adrienne Barbeau is much, much older than you'd think. Some sources credit her as appearing in a 1950's movie called Wild Women of Wongo, and while this has never been proven it's also true that there is a girl in the film who looks a lot like her, barboobs and all and is pretty cute into the bargain.

Her hair never did her any favors, but she's not ugly either. It was a different time. By the time Swamp Thing rolled around I'd say she's well into her mid-forties. Given that, she doesn't look too bad.

I thought she was, some dodgy hairdo's aside.

reply

She has harsh facial features that aren't helped by her bad hairstyle in this film. Great body though. I think back then I would have considered her hot though, keeping in mind I was about 9 when this came out.

reply

She does have strong facial features and a low hairline with some very dense growth. Her hair is impressive but also really hit and miss, I could see many hating her hairstyle.

Her body is great though, it was always evident she had some real whoppers and in this movie she bares them.

She was beautiful in The Fog, her radio voice was sensual.

She definitely gets a thumb up from me.
