'Showgirls' director Paul Verhoeven opens up about how film ruined Elizabeth Berkley’s career, and lead role almost went to Charlize Theron

She was at the top of her game, until a notorious film turned Elizabeth Berkley into a flop star, according to "Showgirls" director Paul Verhoeven.

In 1995, Berkley was on the top of the showbiz world after gaining huge acclaim, fans and success with her role as Jessie Spano in "Saved by the Bell."

But with one performance in the sex and nudity-laden cult movie that depicted the sleazy world of naked cabaret in Las Vegas strip clubs, Berkley's career and her image hit the skids.

 

Today, director Paul Verhoeven has held up his hands and apologized to the beauty and admitted: "It was all my fault."
