"Saturday Night Fever" Starlet Is Stayin' Alive

16. Actually, I thought she was right for the part. It was supposed to be a girl from Brooklyn who was trying as hard as Tony was to escape. Her efforts to smooth her rough edges were amusing ("tea with lemon" being one of them) and the accent just slays me every time I hear it.

I would recommend she go to a lighter hair color, though, and ease up on the eyebrows. Then she can pass for younger than 62.

You're almost right . But she slept with the director.John Badham. That's how she got the part. They were a couple for a while after that.

Yes, she was terrible. Bad body, bad accent, terrible actress and dancer. She was almost ten years older than Travolta too.

21. I thought movie stars all had pearly white teeth??? What happened ????

22. It always annoyed me that she was not prettier or a better dancer or younger for that plum of a role... Maybe Travolta wanted to be the cutest, I don't know.

23. Her acting sucked pretty bad; however, I think this film was a surprise blockbuster so they paid very little for their "actors". As for Traculta, for him the movie was probably B.S. (Before Scientology ). I liked John Traculta before he joined the space force.

Thank you for your information re Gorney sleeping with the director John Badham. Now everything makes sense! I knew something was " NOT Kosher" for a medicre- looking older woman like Gorney who couldn' t dance or act get a role in a movie about disco dancing.
In my humble opinion, this inappropriate casting of Gorney took something away from the believability of the movie itself because Travolta falling madly,head over heals in love with Gorney was not believable.

28. wow she looks real good for 62.now thats how to age gracefully.dont look like any plastic jobs there.

29. Wow. Time and gravity do terrible things to women, in this case 1 who was only marginally cute for about a minute.
Awful mis-casting in SNF, couldn't dance, couldn't act, she must have been giving up anal to the producer.
Alas, now she's an old bat who runs around saying "HEY, I WAS SOMEBODY ONCE UPON A CENTURY AGO!"
