"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.

31. RE: That'sRight

She left the Roseanne show to go off to college...I saw that on True Hollywood Story and cosigning with everyone else, her name is Alicia, Lecy, as some stated, is her nickname...she IS a great actress though. Memba her in "Boys Don't Cry"?

32. This girl is from Evanston, Illinois originally. Back when I was in high school and she had just left the show I was at a coffee house in her home town and she came in while home I guess and was extremely rude and condscending to absolutley everyone. She clearly thought she was all that, and just actually wasn't anything special at all.

35. I loved her on Roseanne, and sarah Chalke SUCKED as the new Becky. I hope what ever she is doing these days she is happy. She rocked as Becky and til this day I watch Roseanne, it is and will always be the best show. PERIOD

37. How the hell did Scrubs last!? And now it's going to ABC? WTF!? It sucks & has always sucked. Lecy/Alicia was definitely the better Becky. i just found out the guy who played Becky's husband died by overdose or suicide years ago.

40. With reading cards, you either have or you don't.
It is not a rare gift.but sometimes a bit of an annoyance.

41. Alicia "Lecy" Goranson was great as becky, although I think she was dumb for leaving for college, she could have waited 5 years and stayed with the show. I think Sarah Chalke had a hard time fitting into a well known show but handled it the best she could. Obviously she is a great actress who did great in roles she played from the start. You both were wrong. Scrubs is filming right now and it's actually 18 episodes ordered for this season. It will start in either the fall or January. The show might actually continue after that perhaps with an all new cast.

44. Lecy was an amazing actress on Roseanne. She had the teenage facial expressions, gestures and attitude down to a tee. Few teenagers 'play' teenage roles well, as they tend to overact the angst and frustration, but if you didn't know she was acting, you'd have thought she was born into that family. Oh, and her timing. It was spot-on.

Actually, all the Conner kids were great in that show. Darlene was a little too precocious, but hilarious. And I adored DJ, especially when he was really young and so cute and shy. He looked like an angelic version of Roseanne, yet he was 100% little boy. Loved the episode with the Barbie doll heads in boxes under his bed, lol.

45. For all you crazy people out there, let's set the record straight. Her real name is "Alicia" but we called her "Lecy" and she left the Roseanne Show to go to college. I should know. I'm her cousin.
