It's a good thing she meet Warren Beaty instead of Harvey Weinstein

@Jocelyn_Jade 3 года назад

She would have never had a career

@NESherv 8 лет назад

She has such a calming and charismatic presence and aura about her.

@root8angel 5 лет назад

Dang. The way a gal's life is changed by meeting a righteous person at the right time 💥💗❣

@davidsirmons 5 лет назад

That's called femininity. She, Monica Bellucci, Blake Lively, and maybe two other women in all of hollywood have kept their hold on that. Most of the rest are bad attitude, or snottiness, or entitlement complex, or delusional.

Some might call it boring but you do you

Coincidentally, Halle Berry also had nothing but praise for Warren Beatty when he directed her in _Bulworth_ (1998). He mentored her on how to deal with Hollywood and furthering her career. She spoke quite publicly about her positive experience while working with him and even mentioned him in her Oscar acceptance speech for _Monster's Ball_ in 2002.

As the culture of sexism and sexual assault is coming to light in Hollywood, it's heartwarming to hear this story and that Warren Beaty went out of his way to be there for Jennifer.

@tupd 5 лет назад

A complete stranger at that

@su-rv2uq 3 года назад

This would be the same Warren Beatty that bragged about having sex with hundreds of women... and Roman Polanski raped a 13 year old girl in Jack Nicholson's house, who saw him with the girl. Interesting that she idolizes these men.

@californialinchen 8 лет назад

She is such a good person, thank you for doing the interview.

@cajagato 8 лет назад

Whoa! What? What!?! That did not go where I thought it was going to go. Ultimate uber-dog Warren Beatty meets a pretty young starlet at an event with Jack Nicholson as his wing man, gives her his number, and DOESN'T try to put the moves on her? He actually helps her out? *Mind blown*

@lordfarquaad8267 4 года назад

cajagato totally thought the same.

@mayhit 3 года назад

God, for more men in the world who help women for no other reason than because it's right, and they can, and they're kind.

@SuperWhofan1 3 года назад

Mind blowing is right

@spaceodds1985 4 года назад

So the infamous Hollywood womaniser of that era actually didn’t put the moves on her and actually wanted to help her? Not a fan of Beatty as an actor, but that is what I call a man.

@TacShooter 4 года назад

Has she been in a time capsule these few decades?

@ragemodels 4 года назад

No a single Wrinkle & she is as fresh and gorgeous when she starred in Flashdance !!!

@Bluemgwes 4 года назад

She is one gorgeous woman.

@sev6379 4 года назад

Kira Sedgewick tells the story of trying out for Flashdance. After standing in line with dozens of other girls, it was her turn. She entered a room with men wearing sunglasses sitting around a table and she was told to dance for them. The men just stared without saying a word. She just couldn't bring herself to do it and left the audition.

there's something so beautiful about people with this calm presence like her. no drama, just a lot of insight, reflection and wisdom. this is the kind of people i'd like to surround myself with and what i would look for in a future girlfriend/boyfriend ☺️✨ edit: and the type of person i strive to be theres something so soft and thoughtful about her voice and it's just so beautiful

@Joshualbm 4 года назад

Awesome to hear that some honor exists in that biz.

@ilariabresolin9349 8 лет назад

SHE's a great person and wonderful woman.THANKS Jennifer!

@Nogoingback424 4 года назад

Now my crush is even bigger than it was in 1985.

@fw1421 3 года назад

She is the most delightful,beautiful woman. She’s gotten even more beautiful with age.

@harleyquiinnnn 2 года назад

props to Warren Beatty to proving that there are still good men out there and that men in power can not only use it to threaten young women, _but also protect them._ it should be normal, but it's unfortunately not, so what he did is special. what an amazing example 💗

@savagep6997 3 года назад

Jennifer BEALS OMG TIME HAS STOP ✋YOU ARE AMAZING PERSON AND VERY TALENTED ACTRESS 👏🤟

@Jaac822 3 месяца назад

Marvellous, gorgeous woman. Love the clothes and necklace.

@Jobe-13 4 года назад

This is why those in Hollywood who manage to stay sane and ordinary are so miraculous and extraordinary. Because Hollywood is just nuts.

@ashleighcleaver9009 3 года назад

@asanta2023 2 года назад

Loved her in the series ‘Wigs.’

@ragemodels 4 года назад

Wow First off She looks amazing !!! She has hasn't Aged atall she looks as young when she starred in flashdance !!! I was 13 when that film came out and it changed my life !!! I promised myself I would one day live in NYC ( which I eventually did for 9 years ). She made the smart choice of going to school rather than bieng used by bunch of creepy men in Hollywood ( good for Warren Beatty for protecting her ) !!!

@pastordavey7314 2 года назад

Why was Chicago Code cancelled after a very short run!! I loved that show.

@fw1421 4 года назад

Amazing actress. I’ve had a crush on her since Flashdance. She was sooooo gorgeous in that movie,even in the welders outfit.❤️❤️❤️

@Druuna55 3 года назад

Mind blown...

@seidenschnabelfederflugel5441 Год назад

I mean lucky for her. This makes me kind of sad and angry i guess bacause other women didnt have this kind of support or a "godfather" to protect them or stand up for them. 🤧😖 I didnt have anyone who stood up for me. Even though i'm not in the industry but i'm still a women.

@seancollins6524 3 года назад

WTF does this have to do with sexism?!!! FUKKIN' CLIK-BAIT....

@firefightergoggie 4 года назад

Jennifer who?

@tickedoffnow 5 лет назад

I wonder why she did "the l word" in the 2000s, that tv show is sexist and homophobic crap

@monmothma3358 4 года назад

Really? I've never seen it. How is it sexist and homophobic?

@Jocelyn_Jade 3 года назад

Mon Mothma It makes every single male character look ridiculous except for maybe two in the whole show (sexism: misandry). They portray lesbians as ALL being promiscuous who cheat on whoever they’re with and can’t keep it in their pants (homophobia). The bisexual characters are treated like they can’t make up their mind and are shunned when they choose the opposite sex (biphobia), and the one transgender storyline was utter garbage and portrayed the character as transitioning into a male then getting pregnant from a gay guy, then detransitioning (transphobia). Stupid all around but it had it’s fun moments.
