Let me tell you, it was NOT EASY figuring out who this person is. Because she was mis-captioned as Rachel Johnson a lot; once I figured out her name was Grace and added “actress” to it, though, I found her IMDb page, which is where I learned that — and this may blow your mind as it did mine — she played Barbara Hershey’s daughter in Beaches. YES. Beaches.
If that makes me feel old, somewhere I think Bette Midler just took an entire jar of Centrum Silver.
Having said that, this is exactly what I imagine CC Bloom would’ve told her to wear — nay, raised her to wear. Although she would have added a wig and given her the stage name FiFi LaBow. Hey, there’s still time, Grace/Rachel.

I like the color?
I ran across this person browsing IMDB after watching Beaches with my grandmother over Thanksgiving. IMDB lists her birth year as 1984, which would have made her 4 years old when Beaches was released and even younger during filming. Shenanigans! There is no way Victoria was played by a 3 year old, right?
That seems like a creative accounting of her age by IMDb.
Okay, it is in fact a hilarious lie, because this gushing (and probably paid-for) article about her says she was DISCOVERED when she was 5 and put in “God Bless the Child.” Which came out the same year as Beaches. So she was at least 5 when they shot “Beaches,” if not 6.

That is hilarious. I question the wisdom of an age lie that is so easily debunked by google (though I’m sure your google skills are superior, Heather).
#1 MInd is blown over who she is who she played
#2 I am seriously old
# 3 This outfit is seriously bad and
4# On a positive note, I think she has a beautiful smile
Do people not look in the mirror? That is just awful.
And I guess I am old too *sigh*
This is just about the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
I saw this outfit and I laughed and laughed and laughed.
That is, as they say, a whole lot of dress.
Is there a possibility that she wore something is sartorially wrong so as to raise her profile?? Plus 1984 as her birth year??? Pull the other one! On the (only) plus side..I like her hair!
Yes the dress is vile. But I’m more upset about her legs. Some weird blotchy fake tan gone very wrong – and look ! She forgot to do her feet!
totally channeling her inner Erika Kane…love the color, hate her white patchy legs…hate the shoes and what is up with that beaded bag….she steal that from Estelle Getty??
This would have made a good “scroll fug”. Just when you think there can’t possibly be another bow…
No kidding – “I think we can juuuuuuust get another little one right in heeeeeere …”
It would really be hilarious if the back of the dress had bows, too !
I like her athletic legs.
I do feel terrible old now. However, while her outfit is terrible, I will give her credit that she did grow up to look like she could have actually been Barbra Hershey’s daughter (and not just played her in a great, weepy movie)
Move this IMMEDIATELY to a Fug Madness bracket … !
Yes, please!
I loves beachs!! sigh.. um I was born in 84 she was def not!! lol great body/smile Terrible dress/ bag/ shoes
maybe a deep purple bag & shoes would have lifted it?
Nope. It’s it’s far too weighted down by the bows (Oh gawd! The bows!) to be lifted by anything.
I was born in 74, and this person looks older than my friends and I do. Definitely shenanigans. Too bad the dress is so ugly, because it looks like she’s the rare person who can pull off that color, which I love.
Wow the woman is beautiful but that dress is horrible and her legs look so veiny yuck those legs NEED COVERED something awful…….
To me it just looks like she got cold and could have used a longer dress style… though in this case I wouldn’t encourage it if it meant more bows!
You know when I go out I mix a little bit of foundation with body cream, it’s perfect to hide any veins, blotches ect I don’t understand why celebs don’t do that!
That sounds like a whole lot of work. They’re just veins. People (and animals and plants) have them.
Lose the bag and the bows and I think this could be workable, actually.
(Shakes head in disbelief of it all.)
I would’ve never guessed this is Victoria from “Beaches”, which I adore! But, that is seriously FUG and she looks older than me! Now, I feel like watching my DVD of the movie!
Get rid of a few bows, or at least greatly reduce the size, and throw on some black evening type pants and we have an outfit. On the plus side, she’s very pretty.
This girl has clearly set her sites on Fug Madness 2012.
This costume is so bad, I guffawed! I mean reallllly, doesn’t she use mirrors?
At least the bows aren’t on her backside.
WHAT in the ACTUAL F***. I’m still wheezing and clutching my chest. Please put this in a Fug Madness bracket (with the menstrual alien dress some other chick wore) immediately!
She’s very pretty and does give off a slightly Barbara Hershey-ish vibe, so I guess that was good casting all those years ago. (Man, I feel old) The dress becomes more bearable if I imagine that she came in character as FiFi, so that’s nice.
She actually looks wonderful in this color and the accessories are good with the color, too. But maybe a fewer bows. Or maybe no bows at all.
