"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, 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.

17. Alicia Linda Goranson (born June 22, 1974, in Evanston, Illinois), better known as Lecy Goranson, is an American actress. At age 14, Alicia Linda Goranson was cast in the role of Becky Conner in the television sitcom Roseanne, which debuted to great success in 1988.

Since Roseanne, she had several small roles in films and has guest starred in both Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Sex and the City. In her film roles as an adult, she is normally credited as Alicia rather than Lecy.

18. I think she left Rosanne to go to college. It looks like 2 friends screwing around with Tarot cards more so than she is actually working there. While I am sure she is not filthy rich, she also does not strike me as someone that blew her money away on fancy cards, a big mansion, or drugs. I would guess she live comfortably but what the h*ll do I know.

20. Get YOUR facts straight! Scrubs has been renewed for a final 13-episode run on ABC this fall. So yes, probably right about now, Sarah Chalke's sweet bod is probably on the set!

21. I doubt she was working for anything. She is paid off risiduals for the rest of her life. Give me a break. She left to go to college too, so really she is not working as a tarrot card reader. Geez. You all are pathetic.

24. All I can say is that I want a job where I can sit around all day, drink, tell people what they want to hear, and get paid.

This doesn't look like a job as much as just having some fun. She was GREAT as Becky!

25. Um hello...MagicBel, are you scoring some of Lilo's crack because Lecy is short for Alicia. Ding dang yaw'll!

26. Read her blog on Blogspot and you'll find a classy, interesting, intelligent young woman. Don't judge someone's whole life by some random pictures you see on a website. For a former child actor, Ms. Goranson seems like a pretty well adjusted member of society, but if she was a strung out, trash talking, sleazy criminal trying to hold on to some vestige of her former kid actor days (like so many of these dolts), you'd all be hating on her just as much.

Alicia, I am sure your fortune reads: LOOKING BRIGHT.

Easy....It's not like she's saying "ya want fries with that?" Let's just hope she doesn't really hit rock bottom and take a job with TMZ....you can't recover from that :)

30. She was also awesome in Boys Don't Cry - anyone forget that? Award winning film and she was a supporting actress. Sarah Chalke was alright on that show - people were just used to Alicia (Lecy was her "kid" moniker). Sarah Chalke did some pretty good work on Lifetime movies too.
