"Roseanne's" Original Becky: Misfortune Teller

Once upon a time Alicia Goranson's future seemed bright, playing the original Becky Conner on "Roseanne." That was over eleven years ago.
Alicia Goranson
Alicia, 34, resurfaced last week at Gowanus Yacht Club in Brooklyn -- working! Goranson was reading tarot cards and telling patrons lies their fortunes for money.

Somewhere on the "Scrubs" set, Sarah Chalke is laughing.

1. She was on a Sex and the City episode. She played the pregnant woman who was carrying the baby that Charlotte and Harry wanted to adopt and then changed her mind. Maybe she just likes doing this Tarot crap.

3. I wanna know who in the TMZ office is scoring some of Lindsay Lohan's crack, because her name is soooooooo not Alicia Goranson. Perhaps you need to check your IMDB or even Wikipedia. Her name is Lecy Goranson... Thats her credited name.

4. Seems if she was doing it for money she'd have a better set up... a tabel drape, a sign, a tip jar... something. You all sure she's working there or maybe she was just doing it for a friend or something. Of course, the life of someone in show business might seem glamorous, but a lot of folks you see on TV aren't pulling down the big bucks the few really big stars get. You may be rolling in guest star money, free parties and paid nightclub appearances for a while, but unless you stay hot, it all goes away really quickly.

5. She's a nut job! She was all whacked (or drugged) out on Larry King when he had the whole original cast on a couple of years ago.

6. Whatever she's doing now, she was great as Becky! Man, she made me want to bitchslap her through the television when she would start smartmouthing her mom (Roseanne). She played a mouthy teenager, and she did a damn good job! Anyways, she's done some acting recently, I saw her on Law & Order SVU. So whatever...gotta do whatever you can to pay those bills. Go Lecy!

7. When did she become Alicia? She was Lacy Goranson when she was on Roseanne. And exactly how do you know she is a fake? Some are, some aren't.

11. Her birth name is Alicia Linda Goranson but she went by Lecy in her earlier roles. In her adult roles she went by Alicia. If your going to criticize tmz get it right nukkas.

12. She has been going by Alicia for a few years now. Not sure why. If you ever told me back in the day that Sarah Chalke would get another hit show, I would of laughed my ass off. She was awful on Roseanne.

13. If Sarah Chalke is on the Scrubs set laughing then she'd be the wacky one, seeing as how that show ended months ago...hehe
