Life imitates art: Melrose Place edition

Nearly 20 straight years of primetime series TV, probably on a short-list of actresses in that category. You would think that would get you more than a net worth of $8m.

 

I’ve always been a huge fan of Courtney Thorne-Smith but I didn’t watch Melrose Place. She was her excellent self in Sideout, the beach volleyball movie.

 

Don’t forget her starring turn on According to Jim!

 

WE DIDN'T READ THE THREAD FIRST JERKWAD

 

She really deserved an Emmy for that - making her marrying Belushi believable.

 

I too have always wondered about this. The bad cases are so bad, it must be like a disease, because it looks terrible.

But they have to think it looks good, right?

And, to counter your original point, I think certain plastic surgery, in moderation, is just fine. It’s so good, in fact, you don’t notice it.

 

I think that it's sort of like tattoos. They do it once, and unless it turns out just awful they can't resist trying a little more. Then they decide to try something more extensive, or the plastic surgeon upsells them on it, and the next thing you know they look like Meg Ryan.

 

When I come to think of it, she made a career out of making guys who weren't in her league think they had a chance. Nerds, Carrott Top, Ally McBeal, etc. etc.

 

Well, this thread proves that a lot of you watched a LOT of Melrose Place.

Turn in your man cards now!
