Rebecca De Mornay

What I admire about Rebecca De Mornay is how she weaponized expectations. After Risky Business made her an overnight sensation in 1983, the easy path was a decade of glamorous love interests. Instead she pivoted into one of the great screen villains, and her nanny in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle still ranks among the most unsettling performances of the nineties; the MTV Best Villain award barely covers it. Add producing and television directing to the resume and you get a craftsperson, not a starlet. She is proof that longevity in Hollywood belongs to actors who choose roles over image.
