My word, poor Clarissa must have felt a bit naff!

Clarissa Burt is one very attractive woman, and she gave a performance that pretty much stole the show, but...that *costume*! The one I mean is the green one she starts wearing from the time she leaves her castle with Bastian and Atreyu - it just looked so cheesy, particularly the headpiece. I shudder to think how she must have felt wearing it. She should have just stuck with the red dress with the shoulderpieces that she wore when she first appeared - that one actually looked pretty good.

I doubt she wears costumes like that anymore, though - especially now that she's pursuing a political career in Italy.

At least with her hair up in that flamboyant headpiece, you get to see more of her exquisitely beautiful face. I did prefer the red dress, but I think it wouldn't travel well.

Yeah, you're probably right on both counts. I have to say, though, I really did particularly like the red dress...:)

I know what you mean. Especially since the first movie managed to not have a human villain, she is heavy-handed.

Giddy-up, goat!

She's stated in an interview she wasn't a fan of the green dress because of the heavy headpiece and the dress weighed her down. But otherwise she loved working on the movie and is proud of it.
