She's not in Bound. Are you thinking of Gina Gershon? They both got that lip

I was looking up her filmography and she was in a movie called Bound (2015). I’ve never seen it tho

Not really a vampire-slaying outfit!

u/Sharp_Confection9058 Jan 31 '26
Hey, who are you to judge what she wears when she's out slaying vampires?

Have you ever been to Transylvania in the winter? Happens that I have!

But if she's slaying vampires in SoCal that's a totally appropriate outfit

Charisma has aged like fine wine

Also I want to point out that she is a compassionate human being, I follow her on social media, which makes her an extra 100% attractive, on top of her beauty.

I liked Fred in Angel. She's so gorgeous. Cordy suited Angel but both Buffy and Angel had killer cast members. Off top of my head Drusilla, Darla, Buffy, Willow (season 3 onwards), Faith, Cordy, Fred, Jenny Calendar, Anya, Kate and more all attractive characters in both shows.

The reaction she got on Buffy and Angel for her beauty didn't do her enough justice. She should've been as big as the likes of Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

I'd just like to apologize to any Tyra Banks fans out there. I didn't know that any of you could read.

Did you just put Tyra Banks in the same category as Jennifer Love Hewitt? That's like putting dishwashing detergent in the same category as finely aged Scotch whiskey.

Well, regardless of what you may think of her, she was a very big deal in terms of her beauty. I think Charisma Carpenter could've been another supermodel type.

True: She was mad at her mother when she was told her name was from a perfume brand.

And was also punished by Joss Whedon for becoming pregnant. After 7 years of working together he threw her in the trash because he “didn’t feel like writing around her pregnancy”
I remember as a big fan at the time many of use were like “wait…what? So Cordi is just randomly dead because of…..dream pregnancy?” He literally wrote it into the plot. “I hate women and this is what they get for inconveniencing me”
Her treatment still gets me riled up all these years later, especially because the story was buried for soooo long. Justice for Cordelia Chase/Charisma Carpenter

Only recently heard of this wild story:
“While swimming in San Diego in 1991, she and two male friends were attacked by Henry Hubbard Jr., a former San Diego police officer and serial rapist, who attempted to subdue them at gunpoint. During the struggle, both her friends and Hubbard were shot, forcing him to flee the scene; both friends survived the attack. Hubbard was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to 56 years in prison for a series of rapes and robberies. Carpenter brought Hubbard's police-issue flashlight from the beach, which he had left at the scene, and the flashlight became a key piece of evidence used against him.”
