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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
