Mira Sorvino

Best Known For: Mighty Aphrodite (1995), Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997)
Most Recent Project: Trade of Innocents (2012)

From a cinephile's perspective, when you start your career working with Whit Stillman, Woody Allen, and Spike Lee, you either continue to work with greatness, or you plummet. In a ten year span, Sorvino went from Oscar winner to Golden Globe nominee for a Lifetime movie.

Lately, Sorvino has gotten back to doing the sort of indies that brought her acclaim in the first place. And when we say indie, we mean indie: These films have titles like Like Dandelion Dust. So indie it hurts.
