RENE RUSSO - BIOGRAPHY |
 |
|||
| Former model Rene Russo's first dramatic role of note was on the 1987 TV series Sable, in which she played Eden Kendall, the literary agent to a children's book writer-turned-crimefighter. Her breakthrough theatrical feature was Major League (1988), wherein the statuesque blonde actress was saddled with portraying the "misguided" heroine who foolishly prefers marriage with a stable, secure lawyer over a relationship with boozing, philandering ballplayer Tom Berenger. Since then, happily, the message conveyed by Rene Russo's characters has been "Don't mess with me: I can cope." In One Good Cop (1991) the strongly supportive wife of police officer Michael Keaton, who successfully tackles the sudden responsibility of caring for the surly children of Keaton's late partner. In Lethal Weapon 3 (1993), she plays the karate-chopping lady cop who wins the confidence (and the love) of "loose cannon" Mel Gibson by proudly showing off her line-of-duty wounds and evincing a fascination with the Three Stooges. In In the Line of Fire (1992), Rene is once more partnered on an equal basis with the leading man, in this case CIA operative Clint Eastwood; her best scene finds her wired for sound--despite a most revealing evening gown--at a Washington social affair. Apparently there are still reviewers out there who can't quite grasp the concept of a leading lady who can match her leading man blow for blow in a tight situation: in 1995, some observers seemed surprised that Rene Russo, playing a radiation-suited military research operative in Outbreak, was "as good as" her male counterparts Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman. |
