Biografía

Suffered a serious mental and emotional breakdown during the problem-plagued shoot of the James Cameron film Abyss (1989).

Replaced Robin Wright, due to pregnancy, as Maid Marion in Robin Hood: Príncipe de los ladrones (1991) with Kevin Costner.

Once trained for a career as an opera singer.

Was neighbors with Alan Rickman in London in the early 90's. They worked together in January Man and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

Was nominated for Broadway's 2003 Tony Award as Best Actress (Musical) for portraying the Aldonza/Dulcinea character in a revival of "Man of La Mancha."

I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be.

I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.

Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability.

Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavory.

I do need to be told when I'm going wrong. No one's acting can be an exact, 100 percent science.
