The Craft Star Fairuza Balk Is Completely Unrecognizable Today

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Fairuza Balk has appeared in plenty of movies and shows over the years, including American History X and The Waterboy – two very different films that both came out in 1998 — as well as Masters of Horror and Ray Donovan. More recently, in 2020, she took on the role of Lizzie Thomas on Paradise City, a show that surely brings her back to her Almost Famous days with its music scene storyline. 

According to Loud Wire, the series is a spin-off of 2017's American Satan and focuses on a seemingly successful rock star and a young amateur. "[O]n its way to becoming rock fans next favorite television show," part of its appeal is its "rock star-studded cast" which boasts "Slipknot's Sid Wilson, Lamb of God's Randy Blythe, Asking Alexandria's Ben Bruce and James Cassells, Black Veil Brides' Andy Biersack, Nita Strauss, Sleeping With Sirens' Kellin Quinn, and more." On top of that, viewers can also spot Bella Thorne, Mark Boone Junior, Perrey Reeves, and Drea de Matteo.

However, if you don't recognize Balk at first, we wouldn't blame you. Instead of the now-vintage look that she showed off in Almost Famous, her Paradise City character looks more like the star's style in The Craft, thanks to the dark red lipstick and black eye makeup. Honestly, if we found out Lizzie is a witch, we wouldn't be surprised.
