Karen Cellini’s Best Performance

UM, her best performance? She was on "Dynasty" 13 episodes until she was fired. Before that job, she was a coat check girl at a Hard Rock Cafe.

Well, R1, I’m sorry you can’t appreciate one of the greatest actresses ever to grace the screen. And NOBODY could say, ‘here’s your change’ to a customer like Miss Cellini.

Tonya Crowe is a big Deplorable these days so… at least she’s not her

R2. LOL. fucking hilarious

R u kidding me? The best replacement for Catherine Oxenberg was a fucking no talent hat check girl named Karen Cellini? WTF was wrong with spelling? We get Emma Samms, Shelly Hack, Pat Klous and the New Julie on Love Boat. Did he just get fucking lazy?

Shows how much you know, R5. She didn’t just check hats she also wiped down tables and answered phones. All of which would prove to be useful experience for her acting career. Catherine who?

Shut up, OP.

Catherine Oxenberg at R7

Meryl Streep better watch out -- Miss Cellini might be about to stage a return soon.

In all seriousness she was cast at the last second when they were in a tight spot as she herself admitted at the time.

That one where she asked to see the manager.

She was probably a better actress than Oxenberg, everything considered; but the latter was better fit for the role.

Oxenberg was just stunt casting. She had some tenuous link to the BRF and so they hired her to be their Princess Diana knockoff.

Oxenberg brought something regal to the role, Cellini was not attractive and an awful actress. Spelling didn't care about the viewers, and thought all the talent was easily replaced. Look at what he did to his other TV shows...

Yes, season seven is really when it became clear the Dynasty producers no longer cared.

R15. Just like "Charlies Angels". Tanya Roberts was a former model and she's suddenly qualified to be a Private Investigator? Completly change the entire concept of the show...

Oxenberg had the pout down. I also loved her with Michael Nader. I did not mind Cellini - she was pretty, and by Spelling standards she was just fine.

r17 Yes, you are correct - thats why she was fired and never heard from again. She was an amazing actress and beautiful Puleaze

She was so bad that she never did a Fantasy Island or a Love Boat...

I wish they had brought Cellini on as a Special Guest Star on Melrose Place back in the day...

I never saw her on Dynasty, but was she SO bad that she never acted again?

I saw her off-Broadway in ‘night Mother opposite Mary Jo Catlett.

Electrifying. Some performers are just born for the boards.

She was so unattractive too...

How did they explain when she disappeared from Denver? I don't think she was in the sequels either, Like suddenly Blake & Alexis didn't have a 2nd daughter?

She was a better actress than Oxenberg, but that's not a major achievement. Oxenberg, however, was also stunningly beautiful, which Cellini wasn't.

I saw her in 'Extremeties' at a theatre near Rancho Mirage like twenty years ago, it was life changing!

Karen Cellini was so bad she never did a Love Boat r a Fantasy Island
