Rebecca Gayheart is best known for her portrayal in Urban Legends as Brenda Bates, and in Beverly Hills, 90210 as Antonia "Tony" Marchette. ...Continue »
I really did not like her when she was in Urban Legends. She scared me, and she was supposed, so she obviously did a good job. I then saw her in the 6th season of Beverly Hills, 90210, where she played the daughter of mobster Tony Marchette, Antonia Marchette. I really enjoyed her in this. She did a fantastic job, and it really made me upset when Antonia was killed in the episode, "A wedding and a funeral." I had hoped that she was going to be promoted as to a regular and then she died. I almost cried. Almost. I love her and she is so talented.

Rebecca Gayheart, the original Noxzema girl in the States and quoted at the end of Urban Legend (in which Rebecca played the fantastic murdress) has always had a fan in me. I don't know what it is about her, but I personally think that it is her cherokee heritage that makes her unique. She plays the kind of character that makes you go ah! Loved her in Dead Like Me, was shocked she left so soon, but she made that impact, and her murderer role in Urban Legend was, well Legend. She should do more, as she is very talented, and sexy.

Only positive spot in Vanished! ...Continue »
She is the only positive spot in Vanished IMO and that she is a great actress. Too bad that she doesn't get many good roles but I hope that she shines in this show as she is really talented and really pretty. I doubt that Vanished will last really long but still she has a good shot at stardom if she keeps up the good work.
