Biography: All about Marisa
When Brooklyn-born Marisa Tomei broke through in the soap operas As The World Turns (where she shared a dressing-room with a young Meg Ryan) and A Different World, it seemed unlikely that she'd ever fulfil her ambition of becoming an actress as respected as Gena Rowlands. Yet, having put herself through an award-winning theatre career and won a surprise Oscar for My Cousin Vinny, she is well on her way, as the list below reveals.
