PORTRAIT

Large, vivacious American actress who pulls off portraying anything from menaces to twaddlers, and whose versatility and range have earned her a solid reputation in a business which otherwise focuses on exteriors and beauty in female performers. She did, however, arrive late in the movie business after appearing on stage for over a decade. But it was her role as Annie Wilkes in Stephen King's Misery that propelled her to subsequent leading roles and fame.

 

TRIVIA

  • Was second choice (after Anjelica Huston) for the role of Annie Wilkes in Misery
