Jennifer Beals went to New York City years ago, sporting legwarmers and hardhats in her big screen debut, Flashdance. Since then, the actress has moved to Los Angeles and has her own insight on why she'd never go back to the big, wormy apple.

"Where I live in L.A., it's very rural. There are hawks and coyotes and rattlesnakes. And rattlesnakes are a lot easier to deal with than crackheads," the Body And Soul girl said.
