I first saw Monica Keena on Dawson's Creek. Ah crap, I guess that means that I actually watched that show. Yup, I did, but only the first few seasons, I swear! A few years later she also starred in one of my favorite shows ever, Judd Apatow's Undeclared. Undeclared was another show that suffered from low ratings, but I was a staunch believer and was sad to see it go. Luckily, Keena didn't disappear with the cancellation of Undeclared. The girl who would soon be known for chopping Freddy Krueger's head off was born in New Jersey and raised in Brooklyn, NY.
Keena also has another Jersey connection. She provided the voice of Trishelle in The Sopranos: Road to Respect video game. The game was released for PS2 in 2006. Several people have told me that the game sucked, but I've yet to play it. I've also yet to play with Keenas boobs but that's a whole other post. I can see it now "The Sexy Armpit: Road to Monica Keena's Boobies."
For a while, before she apparently had a botched plastic surgery, I thought Keena was stunning in every film or TV show I saw her in. Dammit! I even sat through the abysmal Man of the House because of her! On the other hand, Fifty Pills is still an underrated film. I also can't forget her hot little stint on Entourage either. Unless she has some sort of miraculous resurgence, or Tarantino tweezes her ass out of Hollywood limbo, it seems like Monica Keena's most memorable role will always be as Lori Campbell in 2003's Freddy vs. Jason. Next up, Keena will star in the remake of Night of the Demons along with Shannon Elizabeth, Eddie Furlong, and Diora Baird.
"I've only seen two horror movies in my life, and one of them was Nightmare on Elm Street, when I was about eight years old. And it scared me so much that I couldn't sleep for two or three months. So I always swore I would never do a horror movie. It was very cathartic to be working with Freddy and to realize he's not a real person. Robert Englund is a really sweet guy under all the make-up."

I've always thought she was gorgeous. Never seen her in much besides Freddy vs. Jason though. Great photos.
Oh, that's too bad: I hadn't seen the "after" pictures (didn't know there were any to see). She used to be cute as a button and sexy as hell. Even on Dawson's Creek she was a little hottie. I loved her in Undeclared. It's always too bad when women with nothing wrong with them at all ruin their looks with bad cosmetic surgery. I call it "Pulling a Rose McGowan." Rose used to be perfect in every way, now she looks like a Tex Avery caricature of Greta Garbo.
Keith - thank you!
SamuraiFrog - It is a total shame. I can't believe how dead on your description of Rose McGowan is. I liked her alot, but I agree, after the surgery she started to look weird. It's terrible.
Thanks for stopping by The Armpit guys!
Always thought Monica was a cutie even back in the day as well but that botched plastic surgery really messed her up. I remember seeing her in one of those VH-1 special's a few years back and her lips were gi-normous! Honestly, she looked like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. very, very sad.
