Elizabeth Berkley’s husband reminds fans his wife played a stripper in Showgirls while at Kim Kardashian’s premiere

by

Elizabeth Berkley, known for her role on Saved By The Bell, turned heads with her stylish appearance on the red carpet Thursday night.

The 53-year-old actress looked glamorous in a revealing black dress with a high slit and strappy Versace heels.

The dress showed off her figure, and she looked like a classic Hollywood star at the Los Angeles premiere of Kim Kardashian’s new show, ‘All’s Fair,’ which also features Naomi Watts and Glenn Close.

Berkley has a supporting role as one of the law firm’s new clients who is seeking a divorce. 

The striking blonde woman posed with her husband, Greg Lauren, who is the son of famous fashion designer Ralph Lauren. They have been married for 22 years.

Her husband playfully wore a T-shirt featuring a photo of his wife from her 1995 film, *Showgirls*, about the world of Las Vegas dancers. The movie was initially heavily criticized for its over-the-top script, but it’s since gained a devoted following and become a cult favorite.

Berkley has had an incredibly varied career.

The actress became famous playing Jessie Spano on Saved By The Bell. The character was specifically written to highlight her talents.

She then starred as Nomi Malone, a provocative Las Vegas stripper, in the 1995 film *Showgirls*, alongside Gina Gershon.

The movie’s poor quality damaged her reputation, but she rebounded with a role in Woody Allen’s 2001 film, *The Curse of the Jade Scorpion*, and continued to appear in smaller roles afterwards.

And the wonder with the winning smile also popped up in the redo of Saved By The Bell.

Saved By The Bell was an instant classic that still has a strong fan base. 

You know, it’s funny how things work out in Hollywood! Both Tiffani Thiessen and I actually auditioned for a different role on the show. When Tiffani landed that part, the producers loved me so much they decided to *create* a brand new character – Jessie – specifically for me. It was such a surprise and a wonderful opportunity!

The series aired between 1989 and 1993. Following that, Elizabeth landed what would become her most well-known – and controversial – role in the 1995 film, Showgirls.

Paul Verhoeven directed Showgirls, reuniting with writer Joe Eszterhas after their successful collaboration on the erotic thriller Basic Instinct.

The screenplay was the priciest ever purchased, but the deal became well-known for all the wrong reasons. The resulting movie received terrible reviews and failed to earn back its cost at the cinema.

Despite failing to attract audiences in cinemas—and partly because of its restrictive rating—the movie became incredibly popular when released for home viewing.

The movie *Showgirls* quickly gained a dedicated following, largely due to Elizabeth Berkley’s flamboyant performance as Nomi Malone. One particularly memorable and outlandish scene, featuring a line about her past fondness for Doggy Chow while interacting with Gina Gershon, helped cement its cult status.

The film actually harmed Elizabeth’s career, especially since she had just left “Saved By The Bell” to pursue a movie career.

She admitted being upset that it wasn’t successful, but said the experience also involved a lot of unkindness and bullying, as she shared with People magazine two years ago.

I was confused about why I was getting the blame. As an actor, my role is to bring the director’s ideas to life, and I felt I had done exactly that.

She felt completely abandoned by those involved with the film, stating that no one defended her or offered support. As a result, she was ostracized and felt like an outcast in the industry she’d dedicated herself to building a career in.

Elizabeth rejoined the cast of Saved By The Bell when the show was revived on Peacock two years ago, but the reboot was canceled in May after running for two seasons.

Recently, Elizabeth has been in the HBO miniseries *The Idol*, alongside the late Anne Heche.

Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp, appeared in the TV series *The Idol*. The show centers on a pop singer who becomes involved with the owner of a nightclub who also leads a cult.

The show features Lily-Rose, Anne, and Elizabeth alongside popular musicians like The Weeknd and YouTube personality Troye Sivan.
