My Take

Moriarty announced herself with one of the most assured film debuts I can think of, holding the screen opposite Robert De Niro in Raging Bull as a teenager. Her Vickie is all cool defiance and bruised vulnerability, and that Oscar nomination was completely deserved. A serious car accident derailed her momentum for years, which makes her resilience all the more admirable, and she came back showing real comedic range in films like Soapdish. That husky voice and tough Bronx edge gave her a screen presence that always felt authentic. She deserved an even bigger career than she got.
