Celebrity Life's video: The Cast of Showgirls Then and Now

See The Cast of ‘Showgirls’ Then and Now 2018 Released in 1995 and directed by Paul Verhoeven, who previously gave us classics like 'RoboCop' and 'Total Recall,' 'Showgirls' was a delightful trainwreck of a movie, and an instant so-bad-it's-awesome classic. Former 'Saved by the Bell' star Elizabeth Berkeley starred in the leading role -- looking to shed her good girl image like so many actresses before her, Berkeley played Nomi Malone, a young woman who goes to Las Vegas with dreams of becoming a famous dancer, but finds that those dreams come with a major price. With a cast bolstered by Gina Gershon and Kyle MacLachlan, 'Showgirls' flopped both critically and commercially, but has gone on to become something of a trashy cult classic. 19 years later, we look back at the cast of the film and see what they're up to now. 1 Elizabeth Berkley, Nomi Malone Then: Elizabeth Berkeley, best known for playing feminist Jessie Spano on teen sitcom 'Saved by the Bell,' played Nomi Malone, a young woman who hitchhikes to Las Vegas and goes from being a stripper to being the star of a major show at the Stardust. Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, and Charlize Theron all turned the role down before Berkeley accepted it. Now: Appearing in 'Showgirls' didn't exactly boost Berkeley's career profile the way she thought it would, and although she didn't become a major star, she has appeared in the films 'The First Wives Club,' 'The Curse of the Jade Scorpion,' and 'Any Given Sunday.' She's also starred in a handful of TV movies, including 'Student Seduction' and 'Black Widow.' Berkeley had recurring roles on 'CSI: Miami' and 'The L Word,' and appeared in 'S. Darko,' the direct-to-DVD sequel to 'Donnie Darko.' More recently, in 2013, she competed on 'Dancing with the Stars.' 2 Kyle MacLachlan, Zack Carey Then: Kyle MacLachlan played Zack Carey, the entertainment director of the Stardust, who is also dating Cristal, the current star of the show; eventually, Nomi and Zack start up a relationship. MacLachlan was previously known for his role on the show 'Twin Peaks.' Now: MacLachlan also appeared in the films 'The Trigger Effect,' 'One Night Stand,' 'Me Without You,' and 'The Smell of Success.' He had recurring roles on 'Sex and the City' as Charlotte's first husband, Trey, and on 'Desperate Housewives' as Orson Hodge. He's also appeared on 'How I Met Your Mother' and plays the Mayor on IFC's 'Portlandia.' He currently stars on the new series 'Believe,' and has also appeared on 'The Good Wife.' 3 Gina Gershon, Cristal Connors 4 Robert Davi, Al Torres 5 Gina Ravera, Molly Abrams 6 Rena Riffel, Penny/Hope
