She had everything going for her.. sex appeal, looks and talent. I really do miss her. She could have had an Angelina Jolie type career, very sexy and a pretty good actress.

I completely agree! Gathering info for a facebook page I created in her honor, I realized she really had everything she needed to make it as big as as say, Angelina. If you watched any of her interviews on TV, it made you see that she just never got that perfect project that really showed her off. She was much funnier and beautiful than you ever really saw in movies. There is a big difference in those low budget movies with the writing and the quality. She was much prettier than I think most of those things showed. The few shows where her acting really showed were little shows not many people saw. I remember her russian spy in an episode of "Seven Days" that was so good! Although there were a few bigger parts that did stand out too like "The X-Files" and "Murder One". She was really good on those. But, yeah, I don't think she ever got that one great part! I still hope she comes back! She has a quality that not too many pretty actresses have. Us girls lover her too!

Unfortunately, she was locked in a contract with Paramount Studios during pivotal years of her career. If there weren't so many studio changes being made and other 'inner studio issues' (which had nothing to do with her) she would have been a huge star. I have no doubt. She had several shows being written for her to star in. They all just fell through the cracks during that time when studio execs were being replaced and big changes were happening. She had the looks and talent. But the qualities that set her apart for me were her great spirit and attitude.

I admire her lots, but sadly many would say she'd had her shot. She'd been about since 1991 or so right up to 2004. What gets me is that one year she could be star of three or four (TV) movies, and the next year doing a walk on as an extra in a TV series. She got plenty of shots, but true luck eluded her.
Could it have been her talent? Or dare I saylack of talent that failed her in the end, no matter how diverse she was in her roles? I don't know.
Lots of people miss her, or should that be lots of guys? And if it is lots of guys that miss her, what does that tell us?
Personally, I think, in the end, Bobbie became very disinchanted with the movies and the whole acting game, and wanted out big time. The question isn't will Bobbie come back, but moreso, what is there for her if she did come back?
