The actress was 27 years old when her first movie, Stakeout, was released; the film was a critical and commercial success, which resulted in the actress being noticed by the mainstream media and producers across Hollywood.
The 90s were an interesting year for the actress whose role as Cora Munro in The Last of the Mohicans brought her fame and made her into an A-list celebrity, which only rose further when she was paid $1.5 million for her role in Bad Girls. The actress was again on the receiving end of critical praise after the release of 12 Monkeys.
But as the 2000s rolled around, the actress slowed down her acting career and only appeared in a handful of TV movies and shows. But the big resurrection happened when she was hired to play the role of Victoria Grayson in the ABC show Revenge. She was paid $75,000 per episode for the first two seasons of the series, which rose further as the show went along.
