Actress Lauren Holly in the 1980s. Also, I was in love with Mary Samsonite when ‘Dumb and Dumber’ came out!

    1. First noticed her in Picket Fences and The Bruce Lee Story. Thought she was hot, but never really impressed with her work.

      My manager at the job I had in college went to high school with her. Said she was cool.

      I’ve always liked her in the stuff I’ve seen her in.

      If I know Mary as well as I think I do, she’ll invite us right in for tea and strumpets.

    4. The first thing I remember seeing her in was *Band of the Hand*. It was at the local video store and it said “From The Maker of *Miami Vice*” on the cover, which — as near as I can tell — is reference to the director Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) having directed three (!) episodes of *Miami Vice*.

      It was . . . not good. But Laurence Fishburne was in it, and also Leon before he was semi-famous, John Cameron Mitchell before he was Hedwig, and Stephen Lang with dark hair pretending to be Native American and James Remar maybe playing a Cuban (?).

    5. This is a still from Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story released in May 1993. She was great as Bruce’s wife Linda.
