Who is that girl who................


OK, for 15 years I've known who the actress is AND NOW IT'S NOT HER!

When they're loading up the gear in town, and the banter among Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson and Bill Pullman is going on (Gleeson show Fonda his big gun and Pullman says, "I'm glad you brought the RAID." etc.) a hot girl comes out of a store and walks up and asks Brendan Gleeson about somebody getting killed in the lake. He gets all shmoozy and smily and tells her very little, and she walks off swinging her rear and he stares after her. Meanwhile Bridget Fonda is rolling her eyes.

WHO'S THAT GIRL? I recognized her instantly as Rose McGowan and have always believed it was her. (I too watch this movie about once a year, so that's a lot of times thinking it's Rose McGowan.) Now I find out Rose McGowan's not in the cast list or even in the "uncredited" cast list! Also Lake Placid doesn't appear in her filmography.

And I find somebody named Natassia Malthe in the cast list playing a character named "Janine" and I don't remember a Janine in the movie. SO IS THAT GIRL JANINE, PLAYED BY Natassia Malthe? And if not, what actress plays that girl? And if it's Rose McGowan, WHY THE BIG MYSTERY?

As you can see, I need a little help on this one. :-)

Definitely not Rose McGowan. Her eyes are massive like a pair of golf balls and there's a dimple in her chin, which the girl in Lake Placid doesn't have.

'That girl' is Natassia Malthe, who appears as Janine. If you Google her name, you will see from photos that she's the one who appears as Janine.

I think you have Rose McGowan confused with some other actress, because there's no mistaking that girl for Rose. Some people think she's beautiful, others ugly, but Rose is VERY distinctive looking. Even more so back then.
