*Buying the town of Braselton, Georgia

*Her alleged on-set diva antics on The Marrying Man as well as helping ruining Ralph Bakshi's Cool World buy suggesting that it be more of a "kids movie"

*Hooking up w/ Alec Baldwin

*The Boxing Helena mess

*Going on a three year hiatus from movies soon after winning her Oscar

*Any one of her starring vehicles that didn't connect w/ audiences/critics (i.e. The Marrying Man, Cool World, Final Analysis, The Real McCoy, The Getaway, I Dreamed of Africa, and Bless the Child)

*Turning down roles that turned out to be huge hits like Speed (she was offered Sandra Bullock's role)

Only posing in Playboy once — when she was younger.

Never leaking a sex tape — when she was younger.

Becoming an "actress".

I was never a fan, but apparently the casting couch disagrees. There isn't any role I've seen her portrayed that tells me she owned it. I can see other actresses from her time playing the character with more depth.

Boxing Helena.
