In 1995, Lauren Holly was starring on a hit TV show, she was romantically linked to Hollywood’s fastest rising star and she seemed to be making the difficult transition from TV to the big screen. In this interview from the November 1995 issue of Movieline magazine, Holly discusses her famous boyfriend, he painful divorce, and why she thinks she looks like an alien.
Q: Speaking of television, how much longer do you plan to stay on Picket Fences?
A: I don’t know. A lot of people have been asking me that.
Q: Are they like, “When you gonna dump the TV show and concentrate on movies?”
A: Right. But I’m not there. You know, these new movies could all bomb–then I’ll be thankful I’m on the series.
Q: You did a few commercials when you were starting out. What were the products?
A: One was Wesson oil.
Q: I thought I detected a little Wessonality in you.
A: And I did one for Cabbage Patch dolls.
Q: Did you have to give birth to one?
A: No. but it was running at the same time as my Wesson oil, where I was supposed to be 12 or 13–and in the Cabbage Patch dolls spot, I was a young mother. Go figure.
Q: You also did a little modeling, didn’t you?
A: Very little. When I was 18, I did Crochet Fantasy. In fact, I was on the cover of Crochet Fantasy and the cover of Knitting World at the same time.
Q: Sounds like you touched off a veritable bidding war in the handicraft industry.
A: Basically, yes. Ford, Elite, all the big agencies were freaking out. In fact, from what I heard. Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford got nervous. It was big.
Q: What did you think the first time you saw yourself on the big screen?
A: That I looked like an alien. I still think that. I’ve just got this weird forehead. On Down Periscope, everyone was going to dailies every day. I went a couple of days and then David Ward, the director, said. “Why aren’t you going anymore?” and I said. “Because I look like E.T.”
