Today's Blind Items - Her Casting Couch Start
This actress is probably B-. She should maybe be slightly lower based on her body of work, but she has great name recognition which keeps her in that B range. Our actress did not start off in show business as an actress, although her fame certainly preceded her before she began acting. She was A list and then started moving slowly down the ladder as she tried desperately to get a part. She needed a big break. She knew she could make it as an actress, but, because of her past, no one would give her a shot. Well, enter this, at the time, A+ list mostly movie actor who had a thing for our actress. Sure, he was married, but, that never really stopped him when he wanted to be with someone. He controlled casting for the female lead in his new movie and he sampled several actresses before he was informed that our actress wanted the part. She agreed to sleep with him for the part, but because she did have some power she told him that if he backed out, that she would expose him to the world and she would not be bullied into accepting some smaller role. It was the lead or nothing. Our actor agreed and our actress has had quite the acting career since.

Lisa Rinna in DM today too
So she must have been a big time Singer, Athlete or Model before moving onto actress?
Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen?
Drew Barrymore?
Hmmm Vanessa Williams Ms. America scandal/fame and Schwarzenegger for Eraser?
Damn that's vague!
Sheen got her her first big movie gig; she has done interviews threatening to expose people who utilize the casting couch
Brooklyn Decker, started as a model.
Great guess, Montana
I like MontanaMarriot's guess! Vanessa Williams fits.
Great guess
Ooooh I think this may be the winner! Nice!
lol at brooklyn... no, she has not had much of an acting career.
i dont know any information well enough to make a guess, but the vanessa williams and rinna guesses are quite interesting.
YES Hustle Bitch. My new role model.
Excellent guess!
Must be Vanessa Wms. Montana totally got this one.
Hey she's a beautiful woman and is incredibly talented. And very savvy from the sound of this blind if it's her.Too bad she wasn't taken seriously at first because she's racked up some awards. Could she possibly be an EGOT winner? Off to Wiki...
Nice one, Montana!
Vanessa's brother Chris is Krayzee Eyez Killa from Curb so awesome runs in the family.
Ding ding ding! This sounds like a winner!
Arnold Swcharzawhatever as the actor with Vanessa. The movie being Eraser.
Seriously with Lisa Rinna???
Montana got it. And hey, good for Vanessa.
Blimey,,,,,Vanessa and arnie? No wonder she wanted the lead,,,lol.
Cameron Diaz
Jim Carrey
I was thinking Diaz and Carrey in Mask too. She was already modeling by that time, though it's unclear how famous she was before Mask.
I think this might be Elizabeth Olsen.
She had great name recognition (Being an Olsen) and I believe she was a model.
Now she's in the Avengers out of no where.
Her previous body of actual acting work is very questionable, mostly indies and flops.
jane - do you know if Curb is coming back? I keep hearing rumors but nothing definite - I love that show!
Yup yup.
Vanessa was dethroned and shamed before being an actress.
What about Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone? Basic Instinct?
Cameron Diaz
Love Montana's guess!
'Dance With Me' in the late 90 ' s with Latin Superstar Chayanne was a good one.
All of them.
I really like Mr Wolf's guess!
First Af/Am Miss America! She was (is) so beautiful! Any of you other old timers remember that? Arnold Schwarzenegger swept right in and snagged her, huh? Yeah, I can see it.
Good job, MM!
