Rebecca De Mornay

Such a guilty pleasure but I love her. She comes across very late-night Cinemax soft core porn in her acting but enjoyable to watch. She deserved an Oscar nomination for The Hand That Rocks Cradle.

Yeah, I always liked her, too.

I think she's tremendous.

I particularly enjoyed her when they were revamping The Practice into Boston Legal, and she joined as a megabitch lawyer who was supposed to become second lead to James Spader.

Her character disappeared over the summer hiatus, and I was so disappointed I never watched Boston Legal.

She was perfection in Risky Business.

I recently rewatched Risky Business and THTRTC. She was great and both hold up pretty well.

I also liked her as Trish Walker's mom in Jessica Jones. She's very good. I'm surprised she wasn't an even bigger star.

I also like her a lot and then she made some bombs such as The Sluggers Wife and And God Created Woman and I think it stopped her career.

I hate everyone who uses the term guilty pleasure; I wanna sm... them. And what they all regard as guilty pleasure, idiotic. And stuff they like that they don't regard as guilty pleasure is often really badly done dreck. Dl really has a big problem appreciating good work; not really associating it with that actress, but anyways.

She was terrific as the Vicki Morgan character Flo in Dominick Dunne’s “An Inconvenient Woman”.

ALWAYS a fan of hers.... liked her alot in a "stretch" casting of a role in "the trip to bountiful"....

and yes, in risky business, she was perfection, can't imagine any other actress doing that role and the nuance she brought to it... risky business as a whole still works as well..

Rebecca De Mornay is interchangeable with Diane Lane.

Much Like Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton were.

Both are talented but there are only so many roles for actresses of a certain age.

At least Rebecca didn't marry Josh (the slugger) Brolin.

R11.. although De Mornay is sexy and dangerous in a way that diane lane could never be in my humble opinion....i think rebecca is more versatile as she can also be funny and bemusing....

I loved her in Identity, that whodunnit mystery/horror flick with John Cusack.

See Diane in Unfaithful r11. It might change your mind.

R8 - Says the person who uses the word anywayS. There's no S on the end of that word. We also do not start sentences with "And," but you keep on hating others' choice of words!

Real name: Rebecca Jane Pearch

by Anonymousreply 16October 15, 2020 4:13 PM

She made a smart decision to change her name.

by Anonymousreply 17October 15, 2020 4:17 PM

Did something happen with her healthwise?

She was aging exceptionally well - she showed up in two projects circa 2013 looking like her old self.

Then she popped up on Jessica Jones two years later looking so bloated she was unrecognizable.

2013:
