ALICIA SILVERSTONE RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD FOR NEW MOVIE
July 11 2011
Hollywood, CA – Fame, like anything, comes and goes. Some people, a rare few, are able to have fame well into their later lives but for most, people who already won the jackpot becoming famous in the first place, fame and success is a fleeting thing. That
disappearance happens to stars big and small and once it is gone almost never comes back. That is a part of the hard reality of living life in the spotlight and something some people never fully come to terms with.
Of course, no one thinks it is ever going to happen to them. In the midst of great success it’s very difficult to imagine success ever disappearing, for the momentum to ever slow. Outsiders may see it but it is rare that the individual at the centre of the storm fully realizes the transitory nature of their current success and makes plans to live without. That had to be a hard thing to deal with for Alicia Silverstone who through the latter part of the 1990’s was one of the biggest stars in the world. In an era that spawned a bevy of young, beautiful starlets Silverstone was at the top, starring in hit movies people like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar could only have dreamed of scoring. And then, nothing. Silverstone vanished as quickly as she had appeared on the scene, prompting most people to assume she had died or something. However, she now appears resurrected, so much so that her image can even be caught on film as evidenced by her appearance in a new movie.
“This was a fun movie. I was very happy to be a part of it and hope that this is the start of some good things to come,” said Silverstone of the film. “It’s great to be back with Amy (Heckerling, the director) and I think we’ve made a great movie that people will love. It’s really great to be a part of such an exciting project.”
The movie is Silverstone’s first appearance since 2008 and her first movie since 2006, around the time most people assumed she had passed on.
“I’m old enough to remember her being a big star. I still remember her hitting it big with the Aerosmith videos and then that launching her career. She really was a big deal. Most of the other stars like her at the time her appearing on TV but she had a movie career, starring in movies,” said Scrape TV Entertainment analyst Tracey Temple. “I mean most of them were bad to be sure but they were still movies, ones getting theatrical releases and making money. If she had played it right she might have been able to transition into an adult career but that didn’t happen. Fans are fickle of course but that isn’t the only reason. She made some mistakes too.”
Silverstone’s last major movie in which she starred was 1999’s ‘Blast from the Past’ in which she starred alongside Brendan Fraser who is still very much alive.
“I had heard that she was in some horrific jeep crash in the Hollywood Hills sometime in 2005. Though other stories had circulated, things like having died in the 9/11 attacks, being mauled by dogs in Singapore, and even having hanged herself from the Hollywood sign but I guess none of those stories were true, or Hollywood has perfected resurrection technology,” continued Temple. “I doubt the latter, to be honest. If you were going to resurrect a celebrity from the dead Alicia Silverstone would not be anyone’s first choice. There are much bigger stars with much bigger financial reward. It’s likely those stories of her death were just a little inaccurate.”
Silverstone has three more movies scheduled for this year which may prove the durability of the resurrection technology.
