Olesya Rulin, Ajiona Alexus & Vinessa Shaw in Family Blood (2018)
The month of May have provided handful of pleasant shocks so far in terms of nudity. This one closely relates in that I’ve put my money, so to speak, on this on-screen nudity dodger to get naked before end of current decade. I was watching the flick to check on another favorite of mine – a former ND herself and now, a bona fide MILF Vinessa Shaw.
Okay effort due to the effective creepiness, I was still in half-interested mode until couple of minutes past the half an hour mark. Intro scene of an actress that looked very familiar……wait a minute…is that….no, it can’t be……
Had to wait for another thirty minutes for a longer and better look at the chick playing the waitress. Yep, that’s Olesya all right. Bubble butt and perfect boobs packaged neatly into those sexy tight body. Hmmm, okay. She’s obviously playing the second female lead, joining the proceedings midway like Roddy McDowall in ‘Fright Night‘.
Barely two minutes later, her character was snuffed out. For all intent and purposes, Olesya has been relegated to a day player status with hardly any lines. A wave of weird emotion washed over me, a combo of sadness and elation. Mostly elation : )
Let me elaborate on the sadness part. I’m struggling to recall any mainstream actress that have gone from starting as minor supporting character with speaking lines, worked her up to lead roles in few forgettable movies, got stuck in guest stints for a while before becoming part of an ensemble superhero show and co-starring alongside promising future starlets only to be reduced to almost an extra status on a cheapie few years later. I’d have understood if Olesya said aye to such roles for a David Fincher or Marty Scorsese presentation.
I follow Olesya via SM for some time now. She was actively auditioning after vacationing in Russia. Seems like nothing worthwhile panned out.
Apologies for delighting in another’s misfortune, here is why I’m quite elated and optimistic Olesya on screen nude debut isn’t far away. Desperate situations often leads to making difficult choices including sacrificing personal principles just to stay afloat in the biz especially when you’re in your thirties like Olesya.
Speculation:
What used to be cute Ruskie greatest strength in acquiring roles (and getting typecast in the long run) – her youthful appearance and petite frame – is now just plain creepy. Olesya have chosen to move on but her agent and the biz folks refuse to acknowledge it by not taking her seriously notably during auditions, overlooking her for someone more mature looking. Having adopted a it’s-now-or-never position, Olesya refuse to budge and entertain any roles that requires her to play a teenager hence her current position.
An average actress at best, I’m not ruling out the possibility she’s simply a lousy auditionee. Maybe I’m also reading too much into this. She did the role as a favor for a friend/BF?
If she indeed have moved on by testing for roles that will help her stay relevant in the biz yet also in accordance with and respectful of her age, Olesya surely have waived her non-nudity stance to broaden her options.
