History YMMV / BeautyAndTheBeast1987

* HollywoodHomely: Vincent's appearance is actually very striking, everything in proportion and his fur looks soft, not at all anything that would trigger disgust or fear instincts, and his voice is like silk. Unusual yes, ugly no.

* HilariousInHindsight: Catherine, who often needs Vincent's help in times of danger, is played by Creator/LindaHamilton, the woman who would later redefine the ActionGirl western ideal as a lean, mean fighting machine.
** Linda Hamilton stars in a TV show created by George R.R. Martin. Hamilton’s [[Franchise/TheTerminator most famous character]] would later be played by [[Creator/LenaHeadey two]] [[Creator/EmiliaClarke actresses]] best known for appearing on a [[Series/GameOfThrones most successful show]] based on Martin's most well-known literary work.
