TWENTY five years after leaving Hollywood to live on a ranch, actress Kelly LeBrock has made a red carpet comeback.
The 63-year-old turned out for a fundraising ball in the US earlier this week, showing off her ageless good looks for the flashbulbs.

Wearing slim fitting black trousers and a wide brimmed hat, Kelly clearly still had the wow factor that made her a star all those years ago.
The former model shot to fame in 1985 in the film Weird Science about two teen misfits who design their dream woman on a computer, who then turn reals after a freak electrical accident.
The film raised her profile in the industry, but the pressures of fame took its toll on her personal life.
Kelly was married three times, first, to film producer and restaurateur Victor Drai from 1984 to 1986.

She then wed actor Steven Seagal in 1987, and together, they welcomed a daughter named Arissa in 1993, but divorced in 1996.
After the trauma of the divorce she decided to turn her back on Hollywood for good. She said: “Hollywood wasn’t a place where I wanted to raise my children. My divorce was very much in the press, and I’m just not a Hollywood girl. Never have been. I never really liked the attention. I wanted to have dirt in my nails and be in the outdoors.”
The mother of three explained that she didn’t want to miss out on those precious few years with her children. “I could always go back to my career. I could never go back to my children. Some people can do both. But I already had the fame and was done with it.”
Accompanied by a male guest, Kelly was attending The UCLA Department of Neurosurgery’s Visionary Ball in Los Angeles, which raises funds and awareness in support of patients who face complex neurological disorders.
Soul legend Smokey Robinson performed at the star studded event where guests included actor Seth Rogan and former chat show host, Jay Leno.
