Berkley Revisits Her Past
Alas, I can’t be everywhere. If I could, I would certainly not have missed last week’s screening of Showgirls at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery – especially since it was attended by Nomi herself, Elizabeth Berkley. Although Showgirls has become a gay cult classic, it is also considered one of the worst movies ever made and is regarded as putting the nail in Elizabeth Berkley’s burgeoning film career – it’s her Mommie Dearest. We’re told this was Berkley’s first appearance at a screening in 20 years and she was greeted as a goddess (take a hint, Faye). As luck would have it, the screening took place the day after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage. So it was a celebratory mood all around, with Berkley saying, “I wanna just start this incredible night off by just acknowledging what a celebration tonight is on the heels of such a monumental, incredible win last night. Love wins!” She then struck a Nomi pose, and the audience erupted – as you’ll see in the video on BillyMasters.com.
