Naja you are right, remember Phil Spectors victim she was a B movie actress, hit her 40s and ended up as a hostess at the House of Blues. Still waiting for her big break. Unfortunately she thought that Phil Spector would help her.

I agree with you Naja and Maris. Seems to me she has lived off her looks her whole life and now that she has made it to F3, she expects the men to hand her the money.

Well Naja, that's just a fact in Hollywood. Heck, women who have had great careers when they were young find it difficult to find roles once they get into their 40s and older. Also, has Sheila ever said WHY she did not go to her son's father for child support? Was it because he was married? <100> Lot's of married men get caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar and pay dearly for it! If he was some rock star, he could certainly have afforded to throw some bucks toward the upbringing of her son.

Watching2, the thing is, she didn't even have a successful acting career in her prime. So it's not like she went from successful young actress to unsuccessful once she it her 40s.

Watching, I think I read Mik's father is in New Zealand or something, maybe she couldn't find him... I was sort of leaning towards Adam and Sheila for F2 but after her antics last night, I will personally throw a party tonight if she leaves

I actually think Sheila is a pretty good actor, hopefully being on BB will get her some work.

Oh, I know, Naja! I was just saying IF actresses who had careers had trouble finding work, just how is Shelia expecting to still find it?!! I just had a not so nice thought. Wonder if she does get offered an acting gig and she has to be someone's GRANDMOTHER! ROFL!!!! Heck, they age the kids so much on soaps I think they have actresses in their 30s having grandchildren. Me don't think Sheila would take to being cast as a grandmother too kindly.  I want bellinis or frozen margaritas at that party, C'sMom.

From what I gather Stop, she lives off her residuals from her career. Her photos and movies etc apparently still bring in money. she hasn't done ANYTHING that would give her any residuals.... she doesn't make much more than "pennies" from vacation .... that is ONLY if it is playing on TV .... the only good money to be made from residuals these days is commercials .... and she said she hasn't had any acting jobs for 16 years .... and what she has done besides vacation .... has been very low budget d movies ..... she is NOT even in the union anylonger according to her ... she will have to pay $2400 to join again ... and that is only if she left the union in good standing. I don't know what residuals she would be talking about .... she mentioned she has had "extra" work in shows .... but being non-union she is making $50-60 for a 10 hour rate .... and her book isn't even written yet ... she isn't making any money there .... and if she thinks she is going to get acting gigs from BB ..... now that is crazy talk ...

She was the star of the movie "Ellie" with Shelley Winters and Edward Albert...It probably brings her enough money to exist on along with her residuals from "Spring Break"...and any other movies or TV she was in...

Oh .... you are right! I might give her a "blue ribbon" for them,,,, BUT... she didn't do a very good convinsing cry job with Nats good-bye speech ... she had an angry "ha ha .. I'm still here" look on her face ... didn't buy into that speech ... and I don't think Nat did either. She gets a "rotton tomatos" award for that one.

I'm a movie buff, and I can't imagine "Ellie" brings much in residuals since it apparent none of us on this board even heard of it until Sheila was on BB. I viewed some clips of it and she was awful as an actress IMO. I think BB is Sheila's biggest gig of her career as far as viewers.

No cay ... are those movies even play any longer ... I have been in the business for 20 years .... she isn't making anything off of them. how often does Ellie play? I don't even think that movie made it to the theatres ... it was a low budget movie. and you can't count "extra" jobs .... her pole dancing was an extra job ..... you never make residuals on them ... like I say she is making "pennies" if even that. have you checked out her IMDB page? trust me unless you were a main character on a sitcom like for instance Sienfeld ... she isn't making anything. she has mentioned many times during her "whoa is me" speeches that she has worked 2-3 jobs at a time to support her son.... she is living in an apartment in reseda .... not a very nice area. Yes she prbably does need the $50-500,00 but I don't think she deserves it... JMO though

Sheila better put a pen in each hand and between her toes and start writing as fast as she can while her fans are still DYING to hear whether she ever reached her dream of doing a Penthouse cover, dated a hair-band dude, lived with a publisher, had any kids or ever almost drownded. I mean, does she have any phobias? And I definitely want to see if she'll tell us how old she is.

I always worry about the people who think this money (especially the $50 K) will change their lives. Yes, it's a nice bit of money, but after taxes, and considering you've given up three months of your life (and presumably your income), it's really not much. It's not much different than people who count on winning the lottery as a retirement plan. I laughed when Julie asked her if she regretted anything in the game and she said no. Really? I'd regret not winning anything!!! And did she really describe the guinea pig wheel as a nightmare? I wish that was the worst night mare I'd ever had. I realize we all have our own perception of what is difficult and what is painful. But I found it hard to hear her talk about the incredible "hardships" she went through in the house. It's a game. She was always safe, warm and fed. I know it would be tough to be separated from family, but she did this by choice. I want Adam to win if only because he seemed to have fun and not take the game too seriously.

after watching the first hoh comp tonight and listen to sheila being "scared", do you think she is afraid to leave her house if it's raining? also in her interview with JC where she makes it sound like she "expected" this money from a reality game show. do you think she breaks down and cries when her lottery ticket doesn't win or when the slot machine in vegas doesnt hit jackpot?

Watching Sheila, I just kept thinking when she used to say "it's just a game." seems she doesn't practice what she preaches. as for her needing the money for her son, her time would have been better spent working a job like the rest of us for three months.

I think sheila was looking for a way to make an "easy buck" guess she realizes that it really doesn't work that way ... she at least got 10 gs. she also got to walk away with a red unitard...
