The moment she got her first role, Mary showcased her full potential, appearing on Broadway in the revival of “West Side Story”, and was then soon cast as Gina Montana in the Golden Globe Award-nominated crime-drama film “Scarface”, directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and Steven Bauer. The role launched her to prominence and it became easier for the young actress to secure notable roles, and she enjoyed success throughout the ‘80s, becoming one of the most prominent artists of the time.

In 1991 she reached glory once again with the part of Marian in the critically-acclaimed action-adventure film “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves”, co-starring Kevin Costner as Robin Hood.

#Quote
1I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience.
2I've never found that it jars to go back and forth.
3Suddenly, I realized: this was what I wanted to do. I didn't know how to do it; I just knew acting felt right.
4Domesticity has to mean nesting. Otherwise, six months go by, and you don't know where your underwear is.
5I'm not looking at money, percentage points or grosses. This is my life, you know? To me, every day matters.
6As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.
7I do need to be told when I'm going wrong. No one's acting can be an exact, 100 percent science.
8Some 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.
9Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability.
10I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.
11I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be.
