My Take
Rosanna Arquette embodies a particular 1980s cool that never quite got its due. Desperately Seeking Susan won her a BAFTA in the supporting category, though anyone who watches it knows she carries the picture, an irony that feels emblematic of her whole career. She inspired a hit song, came from acting royalty, and still kept choosing risky, off-center projects over safe stardom. What I respect most is her later pivot to producing, moving to the side of the camera where decisions get made rather than fading politely. Her career is more interesting than mere fame, and frankly I prefer it to many bigger ones.
