BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

Photo Blind Item 62

[Blind Gossip] You probably watched her on screen and purchased magazines with her on the cover.

This celebrity was constantly in the headlines over a decade ago and you could not avoid seeing her or talking about her.

At first, the buzz around her was all about her performances and the possibility of her joining that exclusive club of people who have won the big award.

Then the headlines were all about her personal life and a very different kind of club.

Despite her fame, when we saw this photo of her, we did not even recognize her!

Now if you are the kind of person who thinks that all blondes look alike, you may need a little help.

So sit down – or take a knee – and we’ll spin up some clues for you.

We will tell you that she is not this actress with the blue eyes.

Nor this actress with the big smile.

Nor this actress with the icy stare.

Do you know who it is? It’s not hard – and we’re giving you plenty of clues – so see if you can figure out who it is without cheating.

Speaking of not cheating…

If only our celebrity had followed that advice, her entire life might have turned out very differently!

    Tonya Harding
    Clues were knee, cheating.
    She was the under dog people were cheering for, then, the Trailer Trash antics changed all of that.
    She became a campy cult fave, then on that cable show with comedians.
    Can’t pinpoint what changed in her face no bushy eyebrows or dark eyeliner?

  4. parkland45 says

    Wow. I can’t believe this is that tough girl who could do a triple Axel. Nancy’s lucky to be alive cause the guys who were sent to stake out her rink asked Tonya if she wanted Kerrigan taken care of permanently. Tonya said no. Hope those creeps are still in prison. TH should’ve done done time as well.

  5. MinnieMe says

    Yep, Tonya Harding and the clues are rampant.
    Club, big award, knees, cheating.

  6. Yitty Bossy says

    Tonya Harding – So many clues.]
    I Tonya was a very good movie, perhaps makes you think differently of who she is and how she got caught up in it all.

    Tonya Harding?
    Just going by the clues:
    – ‘icy stare’
    – Margot Robbie played her in the film
    – linked blind is Alison Janney who played her mum in the film.

    Don’t understand the relevance of the other two photo clues though…

  30. feebee says

    Not sure, but possibly Melissa McCarthy?

    Thought she was a funny actress. But difficult to know what really like,

  31. sallylalala says

    Tonya Harding.

    Icy, spin, Margot Robbie (from I, Tonya) ‘it’s not hard’.

    I think she’s had a tough life and been exploited. I hope she is okay & happy.

    figure it out without cheating – she was trying to cheat to win by taking out Nancy Karrigan.

  42. JBDinCA says

    Tonya Harding – figure skater who hatched a plan with two men to club the leg (knee) of her rival Nancy Kerrigan and have her withdraw from the figure skating competition.

    Clues: Club, knee, icy, spin, and figure

    Tonya Harding
    Big prize – Olympic gold medal
    Another kind of club – the kind that hit Nancy Kerrigan in the knee
    Take a knee – Kerrigan’s knee again
    Spin, figure, cheating – Figure skating, cheating before 1994 Winter Olympics
    Photos – McKenna Grace played a young Tonya in I, Tonya, Margot Robbie played adult Tonya in I, Tonya, and if the last photo is Sharon Tate, Margot Robbie played her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

  44. Jem1Jem1 says

    This one wasn’t “hard”-it’s Tonya Harding.

    Clues: Big award. Different kind of club. Icy stare. Cheating. Picture of Margot Robbie.

  50. ILUVCA4evr says

    Celebrity: Tonya Harding

    Clues: icy stare, taking a knee

    Known for her ice skating ambition (olympics) and “allegedly” taking out Nancy kerrigan’s knee.

    I think she had a hard life. I hope she’s at peace with herself.

  63. monalisa79 says

    Tonya Harding? She looks better than the last time I saw her in the media if it is

  68. GottaLoveGossip says

    Tonya Harding! She looks completely different, but she looks good.

    Clues: club, icy stare

  71. romoarigato says

    Tonya Harding. So many clues: ice, club, spin, cheating….

    Honestly. I don’t think of her.

  74. Palermo says

    Tanya Harding, and what on earth happened to her nose? It’s so much larger. I think she is a horrid person, I remember when she did the Kerrigan thing

  83. jonty30 says

    I’m personally saddened by the opportunities she gave up when she let jealousy get the best of her.

    She could have had a solid career as a coach if she had not done what she did.

  84. gingerbread says

    Tonya Harding. Clues: icy, spin, and take a knee (my personal favorite), and cheating. The big award would be the Olympic Gold. And the related is about Allison Janney, who was in “I, Tonya”. And Margot Robbie is a clue picture and she played Tonya in “I, Tonya”.

  93. CamilleLeon says

    Tanya Harding
    Clues: take a knee, different kind of club, icy stare, cheating, figure it out. Tanya Harding hired people to whack Nancy Kerrigan’s knee so Tanya would win a gold medal in female figure skating.

  95. melrose71 says

    Tonya Harding. Clues are cheating, not Margot Robbie or McKenna Grace (I still need to see I, Tonya), take a knee (Nancy Kerrigan’s injury from the famous scandal), spin (ice skating).

  96. traymay17 says

    Tonya Harding

    Clues: big award (Olympic medal), club, knee, hard, cheating, spin, icy

    What do I think of her: a product of her upbringing who needs to find God.

  97. wfreshie says

    tonya harding “take a knee” tonyas husband jeff gilooly hit hardings rival nancy kerrigan on the knee with a pipe before the olympics

    clue: all about her performances and the possibility of her joining that exclusive club of people who have won the big award.

    that sentence in the above clue pertains to performing at the olympics and winning the gold which tonya did not medal

  106. silence1534 says

    Tonya Harding

    Spin, ice, knee, the award would be a medal at the Olympics, etc.

    I think she was raised by terrible parents and learned terrible things from them. She surrounded herself by terrible people, who did terrible things on her behalf.

  109. torrey says

    Tonya Harding

    I definitely thought it was an actress who cheated on a spouse until the picture hints.

  112. SueSue says

    Tonya Harding. So many clues! Take a knee was especially clever.
    I think she had a hard childhod, made some very bad decisions, and has continued to have a hard life largely of her own making.

  114. AuburnTiger says

    Tonya Harding

    Clues: club; knee

    I don’t really have an opinion of her. I did like the movie about her.

  121. luddite2 says

    Tonya Harding, some of the clues being ice, club, figure, cheating. I actually like her, she seems like she’d be fun to be around. Nancy Kerrigan, on the other hand, seemed stuck up.

  128. northernlight says

    Tonya.
    I think she’s awful.
    (I saw some footage of her skating recently, though. Jumps are still beautiful–it’s impressive.)

    • SueSue says

      Her jumps are amazing! She had such talent and could have been remembered today for much better things.

  129. jonesing says

    Tonya Harding.
    Clues: Take a knee! ouch.
    What do I think of her? I think she should have had another mother and boyfriend and she would have stood a chance. The sports writer Christine Brennan had praise for her talents.

  131. Suzy Kew says

    Tonya Harding? Clues ICY stare , different kind of CLUB , big award , different outcome if she avoided cheating:

  135. DaniJo says

    Tonya Harding

    Clues: “take a knee”, She hired someone to hit fellow ice skater Nancy Kerrigan in the knee back in the day.

  136. lizziebee65 says

    This is Tonya Harding.
    Clues: club and knee (she had Nancy Kerrigan clubbed in the knee before the Olympics), spin (something she did in ice skating) and the picture of Margot Robbie who played her in the movie “I Tonya.”
