\t\t<\/p>\n Elizabeth Berkley<\/strong><\/a> is reflecting on the impact of Showgirls<\/strong><\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n If you didn\u2019t know, Elizabeth<\/strong> played the lead character Nomi in the 1995 film. It originally received negative reviews from critics, but has since gained a cult following. <\/p>\n Recently, Elizabeth<\/strong> made a surprise appearance at the 30th anniversary celebration of the film at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. There, she gave a nod to the LGBTQ community for contributing to the movie\u2019s legacy. <\/p>\n \u201cYou guys saw me before anybody else saw me. You believed in me before anybody and you believed in this film and found yourself in Nomi. If I had to play Nomi and go through what I went through in 1995 to give you Nomi I would do it again, again and again,\u201d she said, per Variety<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe are here 30 years later \u2013 which is crazy \u2013 and you guys didn\u2019t just embrace it, you rescued it. You have elevated it. You\u2019ve made this movie what it is and what it was intended to be and I\u2019m forever grateful,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n She continued, \u201cIt\u2019s about vindication, reclamation and it\u2019s about owning our truths and owning our stories and not waiting for someone else to approve it, get it, to validate it, to just own who you are like Nomi and be brave and bold. I will forever have your back the way you had mine and I love that this film has brought you joy, too. It was way ahead of its time. Way, way, way ahead of its time. But I am so grateful for you.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in 2021, Elizbeth<\/strong>\u2018s Saved by the Bell<\/em> co-star Mario Lopez<\/strong><\/a> talked about a fight they once had<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
