Why you should vote::
She was not a traditional movie girlfriend.
Why you should not vote::
She never set foot on the court.
Gloria Clemente. She may not have been able to sink a jump shot, nor could she hustle a dime on the basketball court, but as the unfortunate girlfriend of Billy Hoyle in “White Men Can’t Jump” a large part of us had to wonder why Woody Harrelson (Hoyle) couldn’t get his act together because my God, did Rosie Perez (Clemente) ever look better than she did in that movie? And that accent….. Sorry, give us a moment here…. Damn!
Okay, now that we got our composure back, we loved her spunk, her attitude and the fact that she dumped the guy in the end. It was not because we had anything against Woody, but basically as a boyfriend, he was terrible, and she “stood by her man” long enough. Most movie girlfriends don’t have half the depth that Gloria Clemente did.
