This thread is like the "Hey! It's That Guy!" thread except it's for actresses who frequently appear in movies but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who knows their real name.
I wanted to title it, 'Hey! It's That Woman!" or "Hey! It's That Lady!", but neither of those sounded good.
How about Siobhan Fallon.
(I believe her name is pronounced like "Sha-von)

I always remember her as Edgar's wife in Men In Black. She made horrible lemonade.
Most of the characters she plays are usually clueless, brain dead women.
Or how about Lin Shaye?
She looks like this in real life:

Though you might recognize her better in this picture:

Or this one:

She always plays some nasty old woman.
Can you think of any other "That Chick!" actresses?

Heather Matarazzo, who got her nerdy ass sliced up with a scythe in Hostel Part 2. Also a token nerdy chick in [insert college comedy here].

Zelda Rubinstein of Poltergeist and Anguish.

Yeardly Smith of Maximum Overdrive and The Simpsons. I've seen her in a few other b- and indie flicks, but I can't remember exactly which.

Tisa Farrow. Italian horror scream queen and sister of Mia Farrow.
Damn, the only one that springs to mind, for me is Teri Weigel.

She popped up in a couple of episodes of Married With Children, in Cheerleader Camp, Savage Beach, Return Of The Killer Tomatoes and Predator 2.
She's now a pornstar....

Fran Ryan
She was in tons of movies but I always remember her the most playing "Ma" in Quiet Cool (1986).

MOLLY SHANNON isn't ugly. Perhaps you find her
unattractive...? I mean, I'm perplexed by mean-spirited comments like "very ugly"? :bluesad: :question: Get real. :wink:

I am real, Molly Shannon is ugly, plus I have a right to my own opinion, unless you're a Nazi :tongueout:
"Yeardly Smith of Maximum Overdrive and The Simpsons. I've seen her in a few other b- and indie flicks, but I can't remember exactly which. "
I just saw her in the legend of Billie Jean. I can't believe I just admitted to watching that movie.
Swoosie Kurtz.
She might be popular to others (never seen "Pushing Daisies") but to me this actress has always been a mystery person. Upon checking her IMDb profile apparently I have seen her in 13 movies. And after checking Google Images she still remains a mystery to me, because she looks nothing like she did in Against All Odds which I just watched for the very first time today.
Comes to no surprise though. The first thing that comes up when googling her name is 'swoosie kurtz plastic surgery' :bluesad:

I love that movie. Great cheese and you get Helen Slater. Is that out in a legit DVD release?

Unfortunately no. But I did see a youtube video where Yeardly Smith said she recorded DVD commentary for the movie (one of my fav's) so all hope is not lost yet.
As for the list.... how bout a then and now Amanda Wyss from Fast Times and Better of Dead?

She still looks good!
Ah, thanks, I've been seeing Lin Shaye everywhere lately.
