Greta Scacchi - Why did her career go down the shitter?
She still works, of course. But she was everywhere in the 80s and early 90s. She was beautiful but also a good actress. I realized how far she had fallen many years ago in Flight Plan (with Jodie Foster) where she such a small role that i thought she would be one of the villains or something. But no, it was jiust a very small role.
The interview is lovely but does nor address the elephant in the room of her career decline.

She appeared in some good films such as Heat and Dust, Presumed Innocent, Jefferson in Paris, and The Red Violin, but I think dating her first cousin didn't help her career.

I just saw her as the fat old daughter of the gay cop in Netflix Bodies, but had forgotten her as Odysseus' wife Penelope in the NBC miniseries The Odyssey. I watched it endlessly as a kid and is def the role I associate her with. Her face reminds me of the Sprouse brothers as well, somehow making eyebags sexy.

R8, yeah Vincent D'Onofrio (one of Greta's boyfriends) is pretty well known from Law & Order: SVU & the first Men in Black movie. He was also Kingpin in the Netflix Daredevil show as Kingpin.

I can’t believe her daughter married Sean Penn.

She looks related to Brenda Blethyn.
Is she still related to Sean Penn?

She has (had? I don't know if it was renewed) a series on Acorn called "Darby and Joan" where she and Bryan Brown solve mysteries in Australia.

She went from Merchant Ivory films to begging for work while being married to her first cousin.
What a fall from grace.

I watched the Darby and Joan series (one season). It was well done, worth watching, and the scenery was breathtaking. They travel around in an RV.

Gone is the glamor. She now looks like a nutritionist.
