"It Was Always You, Helen": An Interview With Virginia Madsen

Ripped from the Collector's Edition blu ray. I do not own the rights.

[@derektorres9275]

She still looks beautiful

[@1985Crystal]

She really does.

[@VantaClawz]

She has aged well, it's amazing what happens when they don't inject themselves with all kinds of plastics and neurotoxic bacteria, isn't it? 🤔

[@Captain_Rhodes]

her performance was great. one of the best in a horror film

[@Unownshipper]

Candyman is such a thrilling, intelligent, deeply beautiful movie. Few horror films have such smart social commentary delivered so subtly.

[@moffit1]

Original yes ,the new one will be trash

[@Unownshipper]

@@moffit1 I'm not convinced. I think the new one has potential to be as engaging and suspenseful as the first. I look forward to checking it out at least.

[@moffit1]

@@Unownshipper they've gone to modern day ,that in lies the problem ,now if they had gone the root of the original slavery etc I'd be all for it the new one being set on political issues that have ravaged the world now and set the world on fire I don't agree with, at least just make Tony Todd be the main one because this new one will devide people even more,and it also questions him being a hero or an antagonist ,the original set him up as the villian no matter his background his story was harsh just the same as hellraiser and what they become this new story delves into that he becomes the hero because they've set it all about police ,I'm old-school I like an anti hero but candyman was never that

[@yusefendure]

Facts

[@mattbernabe]

Tony had that incredible voice, and Virginia has those gorgeous eyes. Hypnotizing indeed.

[@Payne_Inc.]

Used to call her 'the other' Madonna. Those eyes... She's still fine😇

[@alvinbeal2123]

Yea she was fine as hell . I went to prom with a girl that looked just like her . We dated for a month after prom , but I was a black guy and her father wasn’t having that lol guess he watched to much candyman . True story

[@macantonioc]

​@@alvinbeal2123lol, but that sucks man

[@burnikshrapnel]

Better looking than Madonna. Especially these days 😎

[@fastmclaren71]

She looks more like Madonna, than Madonna does now.

[@Payne_Inc.]

@alvinbeal2123 Aye...we have a lot in common. 💩 happens! Been there myself. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@stefanlennartsson9860]

Mesmerizing eyes. Also look at the Dune opening.

[@1985Crystal]

This is a Horror Movie,scary and gory but the Romanticism of the story makes it special on a whole other level especially when actor's did as good as they did.

[@LonerBecause]

She did a very good job with this film

[@GabyGibson]

What a beautiful woman

[@KristbjorgNetja]

she's #1

[@1teela]

RIP Tony Todd

[@Nonnormalnorm]

I think this was her finest performance. I saw this movie when I was 14 and it scared me a good one.

[@anthonymusto3537]

Also the hot spot she plays a femme fatale

[@arizona5868]

This movie scared the shit outta me as a kid...still does 😅

[@jessicapazo7718]

This movie freaked me out. That music and that wisper voice....H E L E N;)

[@nasalpolecat091]

YES,!!👍👍👍

[@angelawise8070]

She got the most popular beautiful eyes I love her looks so well my favorite movie it's a banger

[@Reallytobin]

My all time favorite horror film. Freaked me out as a kid and still holds up.

[@echad6259]

Good to see her again.

[@nasalpolecat091]

Absolutely. BTW is she related to Michael Madson?

[@VantaClawz]

That is such an amazing piece of music. Most people don't know that Clive Barker's original "Candyman" story was English, not American. The short story is much scarier than the movie.

[@ivyedan7183]

She is so amazingly beautiful...😊

[@tinseltits9855]

Brilliant interview. Brilliant movie ❤

[@Purplecolors88]

I aways found virgina maddison to be so beautiful in this movie and still beautiful as ever today. ❤

[@nickdaman23]

Thank you for the interview it was great listening to your experience filming candyman it was a great movie although it scared me when I was a child

[@jazcc]

I remember seeing Virginia Madison in so many movies in the 80s. She’s so beautiful. I remember seeing American Gothic which funny enough she plays a ghosts who falls in love and she has a Marilyn Monroe look and body. Just gorgeous. I remember thinking I want to have a body like that when I’m older. She’s really an amazing actress

[@Broyale26]

Her co-star Kasi Lemmons directed Eve's Bayou and Harriet.

[@judeperez7629]

Such a highly underrated video, just like the film… she’s absolutely a beauty, I never seen anyone like her… hands down, prettiest woman I seen on screen, besides Winona Ryder.

[@BigDaddy52525]

Love this movie. I was so disappointed in the remake. Instead of Candyman they made a BLM promo movie and it didn’t even feature Tony Todd. What a joke.

[@Reanimator1x]

Right?

[@MrLobo1024]

This movie traumatized me when I was a kid in the 90s

[@moneyshot7785]

She looks great still

[@jeremykuronya4391]

Love

[@mohammadisamario1988]

an iconic movie, love the building structures showed in this movie

[@erictaylor479]

I had it bad for her back then.She was so hot.She still looks great

[@ernestocaro9802]

Excellent movie, I love it !!!

[@leroymaxwellii2747]

She's so beautiful

[@TimothyVenable]

Virginia Madsen is beyond gorgeous

[@fuckTrump-v7j]

She's sixty😲😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😍

[@dsgb83]

To this day, I have only seen candyman like twice. It's the scariest movie I've ever seen.

[@adamofgrayskull7735]

She looks like an older version of Penny from big bang theory beautiful lady always liked her

[@En_Sabah_Nur_From_Aqaba]

8:16 the beat drops 🎤

[@melvinjackson7631]

I got the forbidden story candyman it’s written back in the 80s

[@AntnyXO]

I love her and how she is from Chicago

[@RH126B]

Even though it scared the shit out of me I loved this as a kid! I even liked part 2. I was 15 when it came out. The music went so well with the film. Beautiful and creepy at the same time. Hope the new one is good.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

I was 7 when this came out. When her hair burnt off it freaked me out as a kid. I'm guessing Virginia wore a bald cap and didn't shave her head for that part

[@TanishaChanelDior]

Bitch u scared the shit outta me in the end

[@stever507]

😂

[@Leonard0849]

What’s the matter Trevor? Scared of something? 🪝

[@evieraotacon]

Virginia Madsen Tony Todd♥️💖

[@OrishiBlackMoses]

R.I.Power Tony Todd

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Virginia Madsen is one of the world's most beautiful women and she would have made a good Susan Storm in a Fantastic Four movie.

[@sherbournesubwaymess]

It's just ironic that all the thing she's now upset about...is what made the film amazing.

[@girassolcaxiasdosul1003]

Linda

[@MrLobo1024]

I use to get confused with her and Gillian Anderson

[@DCProductions77]

So directors took advantage of a beautiful woman cause she wanted to act in the movie so bad. Yeah shes right, they wont do that again. The movie is great. Risk worth the reward. But with that said they definitely toned down the relationship connection on this movie for obvious reasons. But she is right the music and her innocence acting and Tony being so overpowering was great. It all came together nicely. . This lady went through a lot to do a film that she wasn't for sure was going to be a hit. Well done. This interview just goes to show how much women have to go through to put out a decent role. And its why we still watch it today.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

Should have made a sequel with Virginia. It's been 3 decades so she might feel she's too old now.

[@benjamintriplett3]

With the wonders of CGI now they definitely could do it.

[@Adam-qv2bd]

I know a girl who looks just like Virginia. Her name is Jade.

[@angelawise8070]

Can we see her

[@Adam-qv2bd]

@@angelawise8070 - I haven't seen in her a year sadly. But wow, is she a dead ringer.

[@patrickdicintio7966]

When the Helen movie????

[@chadchesney3858]

Yeah she’s still a babe. Good interview.

[@davidcoupal8083]

great actress scary movie

[@deandreedwards2837]

awsome good to meet candyladie aka helen the forgiveness for killing trevor and an't sadness justice

[@Reanimator1x]

This movie is Gothic asf

[@alamudesky1959]

She destroyed the hot spot with silly interviews .

[@ca1688]

what happened to Virginia Madsen? Did she get a plastic surgery? Oh man, she used to be so beautiful... I miss the old Madsen, bring her back!

[@KentPetersonmoney]

I thought she was pretty as a little boy in the 90's. I remember some parts of candyman she got naked and my mom made me turn my head.

[@ottabee]

I notice that she's very healthy looking and a little plumper in the face and may have had some work done, though I will say it's not too severe at all compared to what so many other european-ameriKans/white women do to themselves like courtney cox. She looks so horribly scary and unnatural looking.

[@stever507]

People do get older

[@trevormerren2329]

She's still looking well😍

[@sgshumblecrumb6046]

30 years of age is what happened. She looks quite good here. Nobody looks like her in her youth when they're 60.

[@ultimatesunrise]

She caught herself almost say the N word and replaced it with "inner city people" 🤣😂

[@jayfanes1125]

My God what a stupid thing to say

[@MysteriousMischief-o7n]

This woman’s eyes 😍

[@cheedevulan8547]

Helen. A bimbo character who got what she deserved. Good actress though.

[@AbbaLeStrange]

Helen wasnt a bimbo, not even close to it, the only bimbo in the movie was the husband's side piece, Helen was stupid for calling candyman's name but she didnt deserve to die, she was a hero who risked her life for a child, trevor is the one who got what he deserved.
