Worst Actress Ever?


Terry Farrell doesn't have the brain power to light a twenty-watt bulb. She's the worst actress I have ever witnessed.

Her non-offensive good looks don't make up for the decades of wooden, lifeless performances she gave in both dramas (Deep Space Nine) and comedies (Becker).

Terry tells the story on a Trek behind-the-scenes featurette of how the director of the episode flew off the handle and stormed off the set because Terry hadn't learned her lines and was having the script girl read her dialogue to her offscreen. Sentence fragment by sentence fragment.

Ordinarily failing at your job and being publicly humiliated would be enough to shame any actor, but Terry tells the story without a hint of guilt, remorse, or understanding. The woman's too stupid to know that she's confirming her complete incompetence.

Flat delivery, blank expression, hollow, vacuous eyes, barely enough air in her lungs to push her dialogue out through her lips... do I have to go on?

She spoke her lines phonetically, with no understanding of the words, like that dog who barks I love you... she had the physicality of a piece of plywood... she was fired from both Star Trek AND Becker. Must have been a coincidence.

If Terry took an IQ test she might very well qualify as mentally retarded and receive the home care and state funding that she so sorely needs. Please keep this woman away from the camera. Watching her makes me uncomfortable and sets me off on a blind rage that comes from witnessing a car accident in slow motion. Terry: you are the worst actress I have ever seen... get lost and stay there.

Couldn't have said that better.
