Seventeen years, and my opinion hasn’t changed. I do internal consistency well.

I imagine she probably figured if there was a paycheck in acting pretty, she’d do that, and if there was a paycheck in acting ugly, she’d do that. There’s something to be said for being willing to ham it up for the money; it makes a lot of off-the-beaten-path movies a lot more entertaining to watch.

(Case in point: Masters of the Universe (1987), which Dolph Lundgren certainly wasn’t going to be able to carry as He-Man, but in which Frank Langella was clearly having the time of his life hamming it up as Skeletor.)
