Scenes that wink at the actor's career

I laughed at the scenes that wink at the actor’s career. The best was Cybill Shepherd doing a striptease on the diving board at her party; a great reference to "Last Picture Show." I also loved Jennifer Beals in her “Flashdance” outfit during a college flashback and Pam Grier going “Foxy Brown” when dealing with the owners of SheBar. Are there others?

In what season was Jennifer's flashback? Any youtube links?

I just saw it - I wanna say it was Season 5.

There are no more references to past careers because no one else besides the iconic Beals and Grier (and Shepard) had careers before to parody.

Shane was going to cut Eric Mabius's hair.

also, Pam Grier was doing her Foxy Brown in the Dance Marathon episode, even wearing a similar outfit and fro that one of her characters wore...I believe Foxy Brown.

As Clemintine Ford is gay and her mother is Cybill Sheppard, I thought that was kind of cute!
