Elizabeth Berkley’s Showgirls Fiasco
Elizabeth Berkley was an up-and-coming actress in 1995. She was transitioning from being a teen actress as Jesse Spano on Saved by the Bell to taking on adult roles. Her star was poised to rise when she was cast in the movie Showgirls. Unfortunately, the movie ended up being a flop and ruined her career.
Director Paul Verhoeven told The Daily News, “Showgirls certainly ruined the career of Elizabeth Berkley in a major way. It made my life more difficult, but not to the degree it did Elizabeth’s. Hollywood turned their backs on her.”
