MarciaCROSS
Melrose Bush
Never given the tabloid-fueled publicly of her Melrose Place co-stars Heather Locklear, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Lisa Rinna or, hell, even Andrew Shue, flame-haired Marcia Cross remains one of the TV show's most talked about characters and, arguably, the sexiest psycho to appear on television. Portraying impassioned wacko Dr. Kimberly Shaw, Marcia remains irrepressibly sexy, while scaring the crap out of us.
     Melrose diehards shot their collective load over Marcia's on-screen romantic sparring with co-star Thomas Calabro and then had to grab still another tissue each time she spit fire at rival bitch Locklear. But what really kept the masses at attention were Marcia's short skirts, come-fuck-me stockings and rack-friendly, low-cut blouses. You're busted, Marcia!
     Even the lady's most non-sexual sequences are likely to rate as some of the most memorable moments in Melrose history. Fans still stiffen in fear when remembering the episode when Marcia plants a bomb at the coveted, titular address in a vain attempt to blow up the apartment complex. (Editor's Note: Stiffen? Titular? Vain? Blow? Who the hell are we fooling, here?) Just as momentous is the notoriously camped-up "ripping off of the wig" scene wherein Marcia reveals a huge scar on her stubbly shaved head left from a surgical procedure.
     Having just been killed off from Melrose after an impressive five-year run, Marcia recently appeared in the controversial feminist drama Female Perversions. Surrounded by a strong cast topped by Tilda Swinton, this nudity-drenched tale of a lusty lawyer and her equally horny friends and family has already become a cult hit on video. And, in case you were wondering, Marcia plays a same old kind of loony role that made her such a star on Melrose. What's next, an all nude version of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?


Aside from flashing her beautiful boobs, Ms. Cross does little in the way of risk-taking in Female Perversions, a film that delves into matters of psychosexual nature, focusing on infidelity, insecurity and sex for sex' sake. Can you say Melrose Place for the big screen?


Sorry, I was forced to edit the nudity.
