Darlanne Fluegel Movies
Blonde, pouty leading lady
Darlanne Fluegel made her screen debut as one of
Faye Dunaway's stable of models in
The Eyes of Laura Mars. A brief cult following built up around Fluegel due to her appearances in violent cop dramas and sci-fiers. When she wasn't being horribly murdered (
Once Upon a Time in America), she was shooting up and betraying her loved ones (
To Live and Die in LA). In recent years, Darlanne Fluegel has been most closely associated with gritty crime-and-punishment TV shows: she was seen as Julie Torello during the 1986-87 season of
Crime Story, as Lacey in the climactic 1990 episodes of
Wiseguy, and as officer Joanne Molenski in the 1990-91 installments of
Hunter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
