Marisa Tomei

She always came across as being a level headed person. Maybe that was her downfall.

She had something going on with Josh Radnor a few years ago. Before that, the Tom Hardy look-a-like. That was probably her longest relationship?

She's into short, stocky, bald quirky guys.

I was a real estate broker in the 90s while in law school. My office was on 12th Street in the Village. One early evening in walks in Marisa Tomei and she asked to rent out her prewar condo down the block and she invited me over to see it on the spot. I remember the Oscar on the top shelf in the main closet (not on a mantle). She let me hold it which was so cool. Anyway, we hit it off and I rented the condo for her. Very nice and very private, I did not get any kind of gay or straight vibe out of her. She was all about her work and career choices. Isaac Mizrahi lived in the building and one time when he saw me in the building asked if he could see Marisa's unit. I felt he was being nosey since he was not looking to rent it and told him I had to ask Marisa first and he said don't bother (in a queeny way). I told Marisa and she said she could care less if he comes by for a look but I never ran into him again.

She still looks great and natural and has probably now aged out of the "sportfuck who the male lead doesn't *really* want to be with" role that she got bizarrely typecast in (What Women Want, The Guru, Alfie, Crazy Stupid Love, etc.).

Gaycation with Whiskas:

He lived in Norman Norell's old apartment. It's a well appointed building/block.

White token.

She goes to my dermatologist.

Here she is WASTED:

The building where Marisa lived and Isaac still lives is a beautiful 1920's co op building and the block (12th between 5th and 6th) is one of the prettiest in the city, His apartment was in Architectiral Digital about 5 years ago. It's beautiful and must be. worth at least $10 MM.

Meryl had a townhouse down the block.

r10 Her hair always looks like a rat's nest.

His apartment is not very large. One bedroom.one bath. Might go for for 3 mil.

How did this bitch win an Oscar with a little dinky comedy over serious artistes like us?

r14 That bitchslap I gave her in In The Bedroom was really for all of you.

She’s currently starring in the biggest movie in history so she’s doing pretty well for herself.

I felt bad for her when she did that crappy 2 minute role in The Big Short. What a waste of her that was.

“Starring”, r16? She had no dialogue.

Marisa and Sissy were superb / 2001 IN THE BEDROOM

Back in the day, I noticed her as Maggie, on A Different World. When Cosby was a big deal, they were probably aware of the pre Cappuccino days. They had Lisa Bonet and Tomei. They almost completely recast, I remember the last episode before the big shakeup, all the girls danced at a pajama party to MARRS Pump up the Volume. Marisa was the best, even next to trained Jasmine Guy and Debbie Allen involved. I knew she'd be a star. She's like a Parker Posey type, who just happens to have an Oscar. She not only worked for Cosby, Weinstein as well. This Lady has stories.

She hates to exercise but loves to hula hoop.

r20 I always use to assume she stole Annabella Sciorra's thunder, that Hollywood decided there wasn't room enough for both of them. Then we found out Weinstein ruined Sciorra's career. Though you're right, Tomei was always more the quirky Parker Posey type.

[quote]“Starring”, [R16]? She had no dialogue.

Yes, starring. Did you even stay for the credits or read them?

Starring Marisa Tomei

Assistant to Ms. Tomei

[quote]she said she could care less

Oh, brother.

Used* to assume

love her. she's a great actress......wasn't she in the Wrestler with mickey rourke? Outstanding. Both of them AND that movie.....excellent.

r22 Annabella Sciorra is/was a solid actress, but she always lacked a spark. Her role on the Sopranos was the only time she had some real fire. Tomei was definitely more charismatic. Plus, she can do comedy.

Really weird how she hasn't done TV, especially now that there's no stigma and she's probably starved for lead roles. You'd think she be perfect to lead a series or miniseries. She turned down The Newsroom.

[quote][R22] Annabella Sciorra is/was a solid actress, but she always lacked a spark.

It may be hard to have a spark after you are raped in your early 30s by an ogre who then makes it his mission to ruin your career.

R10- When was that?

R28- For which role?

Always liked Tomei.

That scene in In the Bedroom with Sissy is amazing.

r29 Even in "Jungle Fever" and "Hand That Rocks The Cradle" which came before that.

I didn’t know Juno Temple was Asian.

r30 The Emily Mortimer role. Sorkin wrote it specifically for Tomei, but she turned it down. I guess because she did a somewhat similar role in The Ides of March? That was just a few scenes though.

She was an alternative to Julia Roberts that unfortunately no one went for.

What happened with her and Charity?

I remember when she started out on "As The World Turns" as Marcy Thompson, a troubled teen who accused saintly Dr. Bob of molesting her. She really stood out from the cast (which included Meg Ryan and Julianne Moore), and I just knew she would go on to bigger things. Unfortunately, she became something of a cunt, refusing to acknowledge her soap past (unlike Moore, who actually returned for an appearance on ATWT just before it went off the air).

[quote] She’s currently starring in the biggest movie in history so she’s doing pretty well for herself.

What movie is this?!?!

I think she was going to be in Four Wedding and a Funeral too but had to drop out for some reason. Would have been SO much better than MacDowell.

R34 - She would have been great in the Emily M role.

R35 Julia was the cool Homecoming Queen while Tomei was the cool pretty misfit at the time.

[quote] Would have been SO much better than MacDowell.

An IKEA chair would've been better than MacDowell, who is generally not very convincing as a carbon-based life form.

R11. It was a prewar condo on West 12th off 5th Avenue. One of the few prewar condos in the Village.

I tried to sell a Penthouse there to Darren Starr who was such a colossal dick that the other agent told the seller to go with somebody else and he lost it! He was one of the worst to work with.

r39 According to this, her grandfather was sick so that's why she didn't do it.

Never heard before that she was the first choice for Julianne Moore's role in Boogie Nights. Who the hell was managing her career?

Roberts was the main pukieness of the early 90s I give her that.

And I just looked up Parker Posey, As the world Turns, on it as well. There is similar acting on soaps an ABC type,CBS type, and NBC type. I also adore Boogie Nights, the "will you be my mom scene." Any of those CBS soap Ladies could've rocked that part. And What about The RDJ Marisa Only You?

Tomei was in four films with RDJ, including Chaplin. She sure does have stories.

Um, five films now.

[quote]Before that, the Tom Hardy look-a-like. That was probably her longest relationship?

Logan Marshall-Green's (Tom Hardy look-a-like) wife filed for divorce a few weeks back blasting him on IG for cheating on her with her daughter's ballet teacher. When someone commented on the post his wife said that after she got with Logan she found out that he also cheated on Marisa.

Annabella Sciorra ROCKED The Sopranos. Absolutely...... Gloria Trillo...what a woman.....

r47 Didn't they date as well?

I think so R51

Love that gif, R50.

r49 I've been following that too! Have you heard that podcast the wife did? Really interesting listen. I wonder if Marisa has been following it as well.

Well, post a link, bitches.

Heavy Weinstein had a thing with her. She was one of Whalestein's girls.

R28 Marisa did Handmaid's Tale on Hulu as a guest star.

What’s Logan’s wife’s Instagram? Didn’t Logan show dong once?

R49 Geez, you're right. Separated at birth...

[quote] I always use to assume she stole Annabella Sciorra's thunder, that Hollywood decided there wasn't room enough for both of them. Then we found out Weinstein ruined Sciorra's career. Though you're right, Tomei was always more the quirky Parker Posey type.

Please, the only thing that derailed Sciorra's career was that she was a completely unremarkable, charisma-free actress.

[quote]What’s Logan’s wife’s Instagram

@digaeta. She changed it from @dianemarshallgreen

Logan is also a twin so there's another Tom Hardy look-alike out there.

[quote]Please, the only thing that derailed Sciorra's career was that she was a completely unremarkable, charisma-free actress.

Maybe, but Weinstein did derail her career by spreading word of her being "difficult to work with". We know she's not the only one.

Umm, if you're talking about Mira Sorvino, she WAS difficult to work with. And the thing is, where there's smoke, there's fire. Most people who have a rep as being difficult ARE difficult.

I believe Mira Sorvino was difficult to work with and i'm sure Weinstein blackballed her.

But she's not a very good actress to begin with. Not excusing Weinstein and his despicable ways but she was never great.

I disagree that Sciorra is charisma-free. I think she's a good actress. I did wonder why she suddenly fell out of favour in the mid-90s when she seemed to be everywhere at the beginning of the '90s. It was a very noticeable drop-off.

Hey R64, let's be fair here--Sorvino was a wonderful comedic actress. Not everything was up her alley, but she was very good at a certain type of role.

She dated Dana Ashbrook in the late-1990s.

Shuttup. Mira Sorvino gave us "Romy and Michele's high school reunion".

R37 Moore brings up her soap past whenever she can. I saw her on that CBS morning show a while back and she said they filmed ATWT in the same building.

How did she turn on Logan so fast? She posted #marriagegamestrong just a couple months ago.

Also, Instagram just ports all your old posts and followers over to your new account?

r65 I thought she was good in Summer of Sam as well.

[quote]How did she turn on Logan so fast?

She had her suspicions and hired a private investigator and got proof that he was cheating. This is a woman whose ex became a druggie and murdered someone. She has zero time for bullshittery.

The 9 year old is actually his stepdaughter. The wife had a kid with the the guy from Sons of Anarchy, who later went crazy and killed his landlady.

Where did she say that Logan cheated on Marisa? He told her? It did seem like he was using her. She brought him to the Oscars when she was nominated for The Wrestler. Then he was in Prometheus around the time they must have broken up. Guess she was no longer of any use to him. Probably why she's had no known relationships since then. He did a number on her too apparently.

[quote]Where did she say that Logan cheated on Marisa? He told her?

She said in the comments of one of her posts. Either the one linked at R61 or the deleted one where she announced her divorce and the name and IG account of his mistress. She didn't say how she found out he cheated.

Not surprised about Logan Marshall-Green. He's always oozed sleazy douche.

Bizarre how much Marshall-Green looks like Hardy. I think I've actually seen Logan in something, that I thought he was very good in, and assumed it was Hardy.

My favorite Marisa Tomei movie is the one where she falls in love with Christian Slater, who plays a retard who thinks he has a baboon heart. She gets raped in the snow because they live somewhere cold and Christian gets the shit beaten out of him by the attackers because he's been stalking Tomei and so was there when the guys attacked her. In retrospect, I'm not sure there's anything not fucked up and wrong about this movie. But so then Marisa falls in love with her retard stalker and he dies after catching a hockey puck. It's a love story.

I saw her on stage with Quentin Tarantino in some play where she's a blind person and Tarantino breaks into her apartment and they talk a lot. They were both awful.

Given the company she was keeping, I'm surprised she still has a septum.

Before Logan, Marisa dated Nicholas Carpenter, who's now with former playboy bunny Bridger Marquardt. He basically has the same kind of scuzzy-handsome look that Logan has. I guess Dana Ashbrook too. Marisa doesn't pick them very well.

Bridget*

Marisa herself said she's awful in "Only You".

Marisa was quite something in The Perez Family.

Marisa and Julianne are related. If only they knew that BEFORE they scissored each other!

she was with screenwriter frank pugliese for years. He was recently the showrunner on house of cards.

I still have the issue of Elle Decor with her apartment featured because I love it so much. She bought 2 units in the building and joined them together if I’m not mistaken.

I've always like Marisa...she plays desperate really well.

She was good in Love is Strange by Ira Sachs. She's in his new movie with Isabelle Huppert which premieres in Cannes.

[quote]Really weird how she hasn't done TV, especially now that there's no stigma and she's probably starved for lead roles. You'd think she be perfect to lead a series or miniseries. She turned down The Newsroom.

That will probably happen in a couple of years.

She was in several episodes of "Empire" already.

Tomei was in a terrible movie called LOITERING WITH INTENT, and it was only watchable because she and Natasha Lyonne managed to breathe some life into an indulgent, sad little script.

"She had something going on with Josh Radnor a few years ago. "

So she's a lesbian?

r28 She did a pilot for CBS around 2007 that didn't get picked up. I read a review of someone who watched it and said she was not a good fit for sitcom.

r76 Wait Until Dark. I wish I could've seen it. Sounds deliciously terrible.

I wish we could see un-released pilots.

R92 Yes

Is Love is Strange just about them looking for an apartment?

She seems pretty content being on her own. Travelling, working, fucking the occasional younger man. Sounds good to me.

Ageless. Must have a portrait in the attic.

She is gorgeous,

She was cute in Only You with RDJr

Love is Strange is garbage, much like everything else Ira Sachs has done. His success and accolades mystify the fuck out of me.

I liked Happy Accidents. Was that the last time she was the lead in a film?

r99 Yes it was dreadfully dull. Lithgow and Molina were not convincing together in the slightest.

Marisa should move on to women, if she hasn't already. She and Liz Goldwyn (Tony's sister) are always together.

I didn't know she dated Dana Ashbrook. Weird.

Marisa and Isabelle Huppert in "Frankie"

r104 Who plays Johnny?

Time was everyone on DL swore up and down that Dana Ashbrook was gay.

I generally like her as an actress, although I do think Annabella Sciorra has a bit more pathos and dramatic weight as a performer. Good on her for being in the new Huppert film.

I have a friend who was a publicist (and various other roles in the industry), he met Marisa a few times and said she was lovely and giggled a lot. They did cocaine together at parties a few times, this was in the early 00s.

Funny, I recently watched Reversal of Fotune & was noticing just how much Annabella Sciorra looked and acted like Marisa,

Wow, I just looked up Dana Ashbrook and thought he must be in his 60s. He's only 51.

These are the only pictures of them together

r110

Love her in Untamed Heart with Christian Slater and her guest appearance on Seinfeld.

She's playing Pete Davidson's mom in that Judd Apatow film. Is she that much older than Beckinsale?

I fired her

Her constant giggle is grating and all the men she's been with likely tire of it.

One of the great comeback stories in recent Hollywood history. I love that she had the last laugh (and, yes, she was always very sweet when I worked with her).

R113 Tomei is 54 and Beckinsale is 45.

Her filmography is really dreadful. Only a couple decent movies. That said, her longevity in spite of that is impressive.

^I’d kill for a career like hers.

R116 What comeback? Looks like she's been working steadily.

I get alcy vibes from her.

R118 she’s done a lot better than just two good films.

she somehow bought that Oscar, , how could one win against such great actress in that bozo cornpone comedy????

Rumor had it the studio got it for her. them was the days huh.....she dint have much of a career, karma.....

R124 never happened. It was a tight, hotly contested supporting actress contest that year. Joan Plowright won the globe and had the older veteran slot. Miranda Richardson was a breakout star that year and won a globe also (lead actress comedy musical), Judy Davis was the critics darling, and Vanessa Redgrave was in a huge art house film Howard’s End, and many felt she should have a second Oscar.

The vote was split allowing Marisa to sneak in, pure and simple.

It's so shocking that she did cocaine! Why can't these people behave :-(((((((((((((((((((((

Costanza

Jack Palance is responsible for Marisa's Oscar win.

R120, first comeback was way back when she was on a sitcom and then disappeared -- turns out it was back to NYC to do theatre and get better. So first comeback was the hit movie and then the surprise Oscar. Then she got shit for years that it was a joke - and she came back AGAIN with two more nominations in two more great films. And it's still early. She's not a joke anymore and it was all her doing for sticking it out. Helps that she is nice too.

r128, no, that was an urban legend.

I loved MT in The Slums of Beverly Hills. Plus Natasha Lyonne!

When Gloria (AS) hurled that slab of meat at Tony's head she won my love & devotion forever. Carmela should have done the same, at least 50 times.

Marisa and Annabella have actually been in 2 films together but they didn't interact at all. They should play sisters. Throw Jennifer Esposito in there too.

Marisa's role in MCV has lived on and is remember a LOT more than any of the performances she beat. People can quote her whole character from beginning to end. There was a moment a few years ago where there were a whole stream of performances like Scarjo in Don Jon and JLaw in American Hustle that were clearly influenced by her. I'd say ultimately the Academy made the right choice.

Of course, I should also mention that she was a lot better than those wannabe performances. JLaw of course was particularly awful.

r121 Well now we know she is/was a cokehead!

The highlight of her career was As The World Turns, working beside Meg Ryan and Julianne Moore.

R136 suck it bitch!

When Ellen had a huge comeback comedy show on HBO a few years after her coming out and then staying out of sight for a while after her show was cancelled....Marisa was in the audience front and center. I think Gillian Anderson was there too.I thought it was there way of coming out but I guess not.

and to continue off of what r125 said, Emma Thompson was winning lead actress and the feeling was they wouldn't want to give both awards to a foreign actress (british specifically even though Judy Davis is Australian everyone thought she was British...see Palance's joke above.) Davis was the favorite going in but she was in a Woody Allen movie and this was the height of the Woody/Mia split. (plus Davis was kind of difficult and made enemies on her own.) hence Marisa.

was an effort by the academy to investigate how such a sorry performance won, if bribes or cheating was involved, she was dead last in vegas odds to win

cheater

r140 She looks great.

surely one of the least talented hwood persons in recent memory....

r142 gtfo

To understand her appeal, just watch her in "Untamed Heart". She's adorable but not wimpy. Kind of a Bronx-ish Brittany Murphy. Rosie Perez is great in it too.

Her face looks great.

I met her and RDJ at the Toronto Film Festival when they were promoting Only You. Both of them were very gracious, down to earth and funny. I'm 6'4 and I remember RDJ made some crack about our height difference, although I don't recall exactly what he said.

She's playing Edith Bunker in the live Norman Lear tribute on Wednesday. Hmm....

The Norman Lear tribue had some other odd castings like Ellie Kemper as Gloria.

I might have to tune in to this mess.

such a shock when she won Oscar, many wanted her to give it back as obviously the mafia or someone bought it for her....

Maybe that's why she's kept her head down but continued working steadily -- mostly in comedy and mostly in bit parts like "Dog Owner" in Trainwreck.

Marisa is coming to Broadway to star in The Rose Tattoo.

Worked with her on an indie film years ago....she was fine- hardworking, diligent, but like almost all actresses, a little neurotic. Went bar hopping with her and her team and a handsome PA (looked like Johnny Depp), and since I really don't drink, ended up being the designated driver. She's a lot of fun, and I can say that I had a drunk MT in the back of my pickup truck. She ended up dating the PA for a couple of years.

this was mind blowing!

Marisa is getting good reviews for "Frankie". The film sound like typical Ira Sachs but it sound like she upstages Huppert.

[quote]but it sound like she upstages Huppert

Good for her!

R153 - How drunk was she?

r155 Huppert will never get a 2nd Oscar nomination, let alone catch up to my Cesar wins.

r157, drunk enough to monopolize a guy in a wheelchair, sit on his lap and twirl with him, then make some young friends in the club, go to their house, sit in uncomfortable silence in their living room, then suggest a water balloon fight outside, which we did.

R159 Thanks for sharing your memories of drunken MT and being designated driver. lol

Judge Jennifer Callaghan approved a plan to hire experts who can appraise Franklin's assets and personal belongings, ranging from concert outfits and memorabilia to household items

Is she going to attempt the Jean Stapleton voice?

What is the point of these live shows? I can't even imagine the shit show it's going to be.

Is she going to be hot Edith Bunker like she's hot Aunt May?

She'e gone full method!

She's*

She's single because she's still waiting for Damon Bradley to show up.

Marisa got RAVES for last night! Many say she may get nominated for an Emmy. Plus, she's returning to Broadway. By next year she could be closing in on the EGOT!

I thought she acted like a diva on set. This was in a cast with other big stars who were all gracious and friendly. She seemed full of herself. I was a fan of hers before that but not anymore.

on what set, r169?

r169 Which set was she a diva on?

I sat next to her on a plane once. She had her own personal airline handler escort her in. She was wearing dark glasses with her head wrapped up in a scarf. When she sat down I asked, at first not knowing who she was, if she was headed home, and she meekly said "yeah." We didn't talk the rest of the flight. Once we landed she asked me to help her get her baggage out of the overhead bin. I did, and she thanked me.

Looking back, I wish I'd engaged her more. But she for sure seemed like she wasn't into being recognized.

Marisa and Pete. Now that he and Beckinsale are over, will one of them make a move?

Marisa always gets paired with unattractive men whether she's playig their love interest or now, their mom...
