In Showgirls, 1995's gaudy masterwork, we spend our first eight minutes with spazztastic Nomi Malone played by Elizabeth Berkely. Elizabeth first "acts" with SAG members playing a shady truck driver, a coingirl and a sleazy john as she arrives in Vegas. Then the true supporting characters begin to emerge. Molly the seamstress, the fifth character introduced, rescues Nomi from the streets taking her into her home (a trailer) and into her workplace where we meet several characters in succession starting with bossy Gay, naked bitch Annie and Annie's arch enemy, the 8th character introduced

Gay: Julie, what happened?Julie: I don't know. It just ripped.
Oh Julie... always with the waldrobe malfunctions, you minx!
Nobody speaks of Julie (Melissa Williams) when they talk about Showgirls and that's a shame. Within her very first minute of screentime Verhoeven and Esterzhas crown her Showgirl's Resident Queen Empress of Foreshadowing. She telegraphs it all: leztastic rivalries "who wants to see her snatch anyway?", evil seed planting "Wouldn't it be great if one of these nights she just fell down the stairs?", and future wardrobe 'accidents.'
So give it up for Julie in the comments.
