A legendary 90s movie star, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, was recently spotted in a rare outing, looking unrecognizable from her iconic on-screen persona. The 67-year-old actress, known for her roles in Scarface and Robin Hood, was seen riding the Subway in Manhattan's West Village, wrapped up in a thick navy coat and earmuffs. This casual appearance is a stark contrast to her glamorous and memorable film roles, which have solidified her status as a Hollywood icon.
Mastrantonio's career began in 1983 with her role as Gina Montana in Scarface, opposite Al Pacino. She then went on to star in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves as Maid Marian, opposite Kevin Costner. Her performance in The Colour of Money (1986) earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and she shared the screen with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise. Mastrantonio's versatility is showcased through her diverse roles, including her portrayal of a lawyer in James Cameron's The Abyss and a fishing boat captain in The Perfect Storm.
Beyond her film career, Mastrantonio has also made a name for herself in television. She has appeared in popular shows like Without A Trace and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Mastrantonio's talent extends to the stage, as she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a musical in 2003 for her performance in Man of La Mancha. Her extensive experience in theatre, film, and television has made her a sought-after professional coach.
Born in Lombard, Illinois, Mastrantonio studied drama at university and worked summers at a local theme park to fund her education. She lived in England for over two decades with her husband, Pat O'Connor, and they have two sons. The family returned to the US in the 2010s. Mastrantonio's journey from a small-town Illinois girl to a celebrated actress and coach is a testament to her dedication and talent.
