Audiences were horrified when the movie Showgirls came out in 1995. Critics hated director Paul Verhoven’s misguided attempt to capture the seedy show business world of Las Vegas, and it bombed in theaters.
Today Showgirls is a celebrated cult classic and one of MGM’s top selling DVD’s of all time. In fact, the film’s fan base is larger than ever and even the characters from the film enjoy a second life in the virtual world of Facebook as if the movie never ended.
You think you can do my nails for me now sugar?
The film centers on a sexy blond drifter Nomi Malone who hustles her way from pole dancing at a strip club to becoming the top showgirl at a casino in Las Vegas.
Although, many of the actors regret doing the film and will seldom speak of it, one actress, Rena Riffel, like all the fans has embraced the film’s campy plot, freaky sexual encounters and outlandish scenes.
Today Rena Riffel, who plays the tragic stripper Penny Hope, joins us over the phone from California to dish the dirt on Showgirls and talk about her upcoming projects which includes a musical version of Showgirls!
Rena’s working on her own soon to be released film “Trasharella: Ultra Vixen” about a starlet who becomes a super vixen to kill the evil Vampire of Hollywood.
Listen as Rena talks about working on Showgirls, watching it in the theater with Demi Moore and the cast of Striptease, how it was reborn as camp classic and what was the plot of the show within the show “Goddess” supposed to be?
We could have had anyone on this show: Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul. Rena Riffel is what Feast of Fun is all about! She’s dazzling, she’s exciting, and she’s very, very sexy!
