Until Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today, clearly the most undeserving award winner in history was Pia Zadora.Zadora starred with Stacy Keach and Orson Welles in the 1982 film Butterfly, with a plot around father-daughter incest, and featuring Zadora singing "It’s Wrong For Me To Love You". She won that year's Golden Globe Award as "Best New Star of the Year", amid charges that her husband had bought the award with a promotional campaign. Zadora's image filled billboards on Sunset Boulevard. Not all critics were enamored of her performance, however, she was also awarded "Razzies" as "Worst New Star" and "Worst Actress" in the 1982 Golden Raspberry Awards.I had purged this injustice from my memory banks until a commenter noted it earlier.
Which begs the question: Is Obama really a better actor?
