How is she in Fifty Shades Darker?

It sure is, check it out!

Yep. She was also supposed to be in Fifty Shades Freed, they filmed her but her scenes were cut from the film. Funny thing is they still used her in the trailers.

Her dumbass of a daughter, Ireland persuaded her to be in it:

“I’m sure there are people who associate me with Fifty Shades Darker because I starred in 9½ Weeks," Kim told The Edit. "But the only reason I accepted the role (Elena Lincoln) in Fifty Shades was because my daughter, Ireland, 20, insisted. She wasn’t enthralled with the first movie, but she knew the books.

"She said, ‘You have to do it, Mom, it’s really powerful for women. Your character is about a woman’s power.’ At first I thought, ‘Eww, I can’t do that dominatrix stuff, it’s not me.’ But it’s not like that. My character’s strength is more emotional and mental – she shows Christian all his moves.”
