Film: The Original Ending To "Fatal Attraction"

In 1987, director Adrian Lyne released the Michael Douglas/Glenn Close classic, "Fatal Attraction" to critical and box office mega success. What many don't realize is that the last scene of the film that features a knife wielding Glenn Close attacking Anne Archer's character was shot 6 months after the original ending was nixed due to a lukewarm reaction by the original screening audience. They wanted to see 'Alex' get what they thought she deserved.

I think the original ending, which is posted below, is much more haunting whereas the ending that is eventually used is the edge-of-your-seat crowd-pleaser.

The Evolution of Cool: The Style of Rose Byrne's 'Ellen Parsons'

For four shaky seasons Glenn Close and company have been serving up some of the most cerebral television left offer with legal drama, 'Damages'.

In it, Close plays the ruthless attorney, Patty Hewes, giant slaying owner of Hewes and Associates but her associate, Ellen Parsons played by Rose Byrne who has not only become the show's scene stealer, but television's most drop dead gorgeous, icon worthy fashionista.

Her acting chops are nicely intact, but it has been the evolution of her character's personal style echoing the darkness which she's been thrust which went from tousseled and nice, to sleek and razor sharp without a hair out of place.

Her look perfectly mirrors the chaos which has been her life since Patty Hewes, the devil, entered. Chaos that reaches Shakespearean crescendos at times, 'Damages' is my guilty pleasure and so is Ellen Parsons....err.....Rose Byrne.
