Biography
Rosanna Arquette has appeared in both television and screen films. Her first starring role was in John Sayles’s 1983 film, Baby It’s You and in 1985 she starred in Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) alongside pop singer Madonna, for which she won a British Academy Film Award (BAFTA) for her ‘supporting’ role despite her clearly being the lead.
Following the commercial and critical success of Lawrence Kasdan’s Silverado in 1985 and the failure of both After Hours and 8 Million Ways to Die, she quit Hollywood to work in Europe, acting in Luc Besson’s The Big Blue (1988). In 1989, director Martin Scorsese offered her a part in New York Stories. Her other movie roles include Pulp Fiction (1994) and Crash (1996). She also directed the 2002 documentary Searching for Debra Winger, and starred in the ABC sitcom What About Brian? (2006-2007).
Arquette was nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance in the 1982 TV movie The Executioner’s Song, and won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan.
In 2009, she joined Fit Parent Magazine, founded by Craig Knight, as Editor at Large.
