...unfair to single her out when Spacek and Wilkinson so gracefully manage most of the movie's heaviest lifting. But they have always been predictably expert actors. Tomei's career path is radically different. She came out of nowhere to win the supporting-actress Oscar, over more prestigious competitors, for her hilarious work in 1992's My Cousin Vinny. Then, and just as suddenly, she swooned into off-Broadway plays and smallish roles in obscure films, where she also gained a reputation as "difficult."

In First Love: The Litter on the Breeze, she's described by one character as having "Satan's eyes." Few actresses would jump at a chance to play a female character named Turkey but she did, in Stephen Chow's God of Cookery.
