Near Dark's Jenny Wright

[horror junkie]

I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened to her. I know she is still alive but I don't think anyone's heard anything about her lately. Just curious!

[Requiem-for-a-Dream]

Well, she appeared nude in Lawnmower Man (widescreen version) but haven't seen her in much since then.

That's the full list.

[edit]

Apparently she quit the business and turned her back on Hollywood 10 years ago. She's living with her mother somewheres in the US - address unknown.

If you own the DVD of NEAR DARK, Adrian Pasdar makes a public statement that he does not know where she is anymore. It is quite touching.

Apparentyl she got into the drug scene and got out of the business after making a name for herself.

Is this the blond youre speaking of? (Assuming since she was basically the only woman in the movie besides the older woman). A shame about the drugs, I thought she was quite talented. :(

I always thought she was cute. Seemed like a younger, more innocent version of Madonna. The only other flick I've seen her in is OUT OF BOUNDS with Anthony Michael Hall.

She's also nekkid in Pink Floyd: The Wall, I think. She's one of the chicks at the after party who doffs her top in the truck trailer during the "Young Lust" sequence. And I think she's the one who accompanies Pink back to his hotel suite - she cowers in the corner when he trashes his room, throws the TV out the window and cuts his hand on broken glass.

Ever since I saw that I wondered what happened to her. It was pretty touching to watch him say that.

Here's an interesting Fan site dedicated to Jenny Wright:

Nah, that was just follow-up research for her role in Out of Bounds.

Or so her lawyers say...

[ERIN_LoJ]

Well I went to the website and was saw she was in
"I, Madman" :) Ive seen the movie but completely forgot she was in it. I thought it was an interesting movie that no one speaks of. As I remember now she was also quite good in that role as well as the near dark.

And didn't it say she was in Twister? What Twister, when, where? If it's the twister I am thinking of I certainly don't remember that.

There was a movie called Twister in the early 90's starring Crispin Glover, not Bill Paxton.
Ms. Wright was in that film, not the tornado chasing flick. This Twister dealt with a quirky family during a twister , I think.

Actually, the movie Twister in question, is actually about a swinger couple that play the game twister in the nude during a twister, while the song Let's Twist Again plays over and over in the background... :D

My sister owns this movie, and I've never watched it. She bought it used, with no slipcover case from a video store for like $1. She thought it was Twister with Paxton, cause it was with them on the PV rack, but when she watched it, she was pissed.

Long story short, I have NO idea why I just posted this?! :cool:

Oops, my bad, I got the idea behind the movie wrong.

But cool trivia, Donnie.

For such a talented lady, Jenny should have picked her roles carefully.
