Snakkle Catches Up with the Stars of Fatal Attraction, 25 Years Later
Yes, it really has been 25 years since we first learned the fear that is bunnies plus boiling water. In 1987, director Adrian Lyne took one philandering Michael Douglas, mixed in a psychotic Glenn Close, and gave us Fatal Attraction, a film that likely scared more philanderers into monogamy than an outbreak of herpes on a college campus. The film was a huge box-office success, grossing over $320 million and garnering six Academy Award nominations. Snakkle catches up with the stars of the film to find out what they are up to today.

Ellen Hamilton Latzen in Fatal Attraction—1987
Poor little Ellen Gallagher. First she’s woken up at all hours of the night by strange phone calls. Her bunny gets boiled. Then one night, after a lot of screaming, she gets up to find police all over the house and her mother holding a gun. Left to her own devices, she kicks her father square in the nether regions and grows up to become an icon of feminist discourse after making millions fronting the punk rock band Bringing Back Bunny. (Or so many of us wished for the daughter of Beth and Dan Gallagher, the pint-sized pawn of Fatal Attraction.)
