Did she return the money ?  ;) ;D

This is just a rumor, of course, but I believe they let LSG keep the money because someone unscrupulously got his hands on the originals and has made a pretty penny selling them to "private collectors." Unfortunately, I've been told that part of the purchase agreement is that the photos aren't distributed in any form, but I've been told that they're definitely worth taking out a second mortgage to get, and I've been told that if one views them more than once a year one is in danger of going insane with lust. Or so I've been told.

Despite the fact that she never :( went topless in a movie, and that her cleavage-baring appearances were quite finite given the length of her career (The Stand, Quigley and Nina among the most notable) there's no way that LSG wasn't (isn't) fully aware that her endowments were appealing to some percentage of her fans, and that she was willing to show them off (within reason ...i.e.: not nude). Not just because of how she occasionally dressed on Just Shoot Me (the turtlenecks and knit tops highlighting the sheer fabulous mass of her low-slung bosom) since you could argue that on the sitcom, someone else had some say in what she wore on camera, but also because she wore similar tops (as well as low-cut dresses sometimes) when she appeared on talk shows or in public at **29** events when she was presumably the only person choosing what she was going to wear.

The attached pic is from some chat show on Comedy Central (I don't recognize the backdrop... maybe early Daily Show?) and she's smiling sweetly and under that tight-fitting top she's sporting an honest-to-Glob pair of healthy and heavy natural melons that are certainly the equal of many that have appeared in Score, Gent, D-Cup, etc... over the years. She's nobody's fool... though she never crossed the line to full toplessness (to the deep regret of many, even now) she did chose to use "what her momma gave her" from time to time.

^ I don't disagree with you, Palomine, but I'm going to quibble anyway, mostly because I seize every opportunity to blather on about my favorite subject, LSG. Yeah, she definitely knew she had it going on and didn't mind drawing attention to them "from time to time." But I think talk-shows and red carpet appearances are really performances of a different type and are promotional events for TV shows, movies, whatever, so even if no one was dictating her wardrobe, she knew what was expected of her and went along. I guess I always think of certain frustrations I had with Just Shoot Me. Of course there were plenty of great scenes of her packed into sweaters and I'm eternally grateful for that, but for every one of those, there were at least as many scenes of her in conservative, form-hiding outfits, and since I doubt some executive at NBC was demanding, "You know that girl with the big boobs? Make sure you keep her rack well-concealed most of the time," then I've always assumed she had something to do with wardrobe choices. Another curious point is that she showed a lot more cleavage earlier in her career, like in the films you cited, before she grew into her later wonderful expansiveness. It was as if the more meat she had, the less she wanted to show. Tight sweaters might have been a trade-off so she could keep her talents under wraps. And since the end of JSM, the dull roles she's been given make it seem as if the twins have gone into retirement. You'd think some producer would have a role for a top-heavy cougar who wouldn't mind exploiting her charms to get what she wants. Come on, you screenwriters out there!

Having said all that, here's an exception to what I said about cleavage, although considering what she had to offer, it's not the most revealing.

I think Jennifer Love Hewitt's getting those roles. ;)

I don't disagree with any of your points Jimmy... yes, even talk-show appearances are scripted/planned-for to an extent... I was simply suggesting that she probably had a higher degree of control (about what she wore) during appearances like that as opposed to tv or film roles (where there's a costume department and assorted directors, producers, etc... potentially involved in such decisions). As for whether NBC itself exerted any influence one way or the other vis-a-vis her wardrobe on Just Shoot Me... of course I have no idea. To be sure, shows *do* get reviewed by network Standards and Practices of course. And JSM was on for a long enough period of time that LSG herself might have had changes of heart during its run about how saucy she was willing to let Maya's wardrobe get.

This is all just speculation of course. I liked her years ago and I still like her. Yes, she's not what she used to be (neither is Mimi Rogers, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Christina Model or even myself! ;)) but that doesn't mean that she's not still appealing. Sure, now when I see her in something like the now-gone Saving Grace or that made-for-tv movie about the cuckolded wife, she's generally sorta frumpy in appearance. But you know what? She's still pretty, and still has a good figure (and those great eyebrows) ...in short, she's still Laura San Giacomo to me. :)

The scripts didn't call for David Spade to get a lot of hugs, but when they did, damn, didn't he make the most of the opportunity! When this scene was finished, I think he sent a text to all his buds: "Oh, they're for real!"

It's nearly April, which is National Poetry Month. So I thought I would submit for your approval the following simple verse, for which I take the credit and blame. Needless to say, it's just my humble opinion.

Mod edit to remove image that contained what many consider to be a derogatory slur. Jim, I know you were just trying to be funny (and rhyme) but I'm afraid that word is considered an insult referring to sexual orientation by many people both gay and straight, so it can't be used in our forum. Feel free to repost with a less potentially offensive term. Thanks. -Palomine

Okay, no more poetry. That is, unless you consider Laura's attributes a virtual epic poem all by themselves!

It's from an episode in season 4, called "An Axe to Grind," which guest-starred a very lucky Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) as LSG's new boyfriend. Of all the well-packed tops she wore on that show, this is my absolute favorite. When I first saw it, I nearly fell off the couch. Typical of the show, of course there were no boob jokes or references in the episode, as if nobody noticed what was bouncing around so amazingly. But an episode or 2 later, when she was dressed in some bulky, shape-hiding top, Finch would get off a crack like, "Are those for real?" Strange.

The best episode ever was " How Nina got her grove back." Its the last minute or so of the episode but they are all sitting around watching tv and Lauras in a TIGHT sweater with a great rack shot. Wish I could find/get a still because it was the best by far!

This is why this forum rocks! Here I am, thinking I know it all regarding certain weighty matters, when I read your post, then check my list of the 2 dozen or so greatest LSG-sweater shots, yet I don't see any mention of that episode. But I find out I've got it on disc (it's from season 3 - her real "bust-out" year) and decide to see if you know what you're talking about. SHA-ZAM! How did I forget that scene?! Not only does she look EEEnormous, but she does a little jog into the room that can be slowed down for maximum viewing pleasure. She also looks damn good earlier in a different blue pullover, but that last one is classic. I haven't been able to find a still shot, but I'm going to keep hunting. THANKS FOR THE TIP!

Cheer up, Laura! I, for one, could never neglect you for long. Of all the great mainstream stars, you're still my two favorites!
