maniac Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 4 minutes ago, zen said: Demi Moore in Ghost (1990) had a nice screen presence too esp. with that haircut Considered that because had a crush on Demi Moore. However apart from that famous pottery scene and the first few minutes, she is kind of playing a grieving widow mostly so takes away from the glamour. On the other hand striptease was a pathetic movie overall. I went with those 2 roles because have a thing for evil hot women :) and they were evil + sexy in those movies
