Marisa Tomei Career Retrospective | Conversations on Broadway

Q&A with Marisa Tomei. Moderated by Richard Ridge, Broadway World.
Marisa Tomei continues to bridge the gap between rich, dramatic performances and smart, comedic turns. Whether working with large studios or independent houses, Marisa consistently brings her independent spirit to every project with which she is involved. Marisa won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mona Lisa Vito in My Cousin Vinny. Tomei subsequently earned Academy Awards nominations for her performances in In the Bedroom and The Wrestler.
Marisa can currently be seen as Pony Jones in the Broadway production of Will Eno's The Realistic Joneses at the Lyceum Theatre. Directed by Sam Gold and also starring Toni Collette, Michael C. Hall and Tracy Letts, the play details the lives of two suburban couples who share more than just a surname. The show explores how our joys and sorrows -- and how we choose to face them -- can come to define our lives.

I was Marisa's Assistant for years. I love her so much! What you see here is exactly who she is in life. Kind, funny, generous, loving and filled with awe! Peace

What an absolutely beautiful, grounded, real, talented, genuine and adorable woman Marisa Tomei is. She laughs and giggles so easily and freely, she just seems like a really wonderful and lovely human being.

Who disliked this? Marisa Freaking Tomei...3 time Oscar nominee, talented and beautiful woman. I recommend that you see "Unhook the Stars" with Gena Rowlands and Marisa. Gorgeous film!

[@gazzpazzer]

I’m a long time fan. Not only is she beautiful, but I admire her intellect and moxy. Great interview.

[@timbungarner3842]

She got me at, my cousin Vinny

[@frankmaguire27]

She is one of the few people that seems to get better looking as she ages...

[@mlmr11]

+Frank Maguire She absolutely does

[@tel5690]

Still breathtakingly beautiful. .Marisa

[@jedswenson5667]

I can't believe she's still not married.

[@schwenke069]

@@jedswenson5667 Although highly unlikely ... ... waiting for her to knock on my door.

[@annafringetree]

I absolutely adore her. My Italian sister!

[@NeverMind-vx7pl]

This was a great interview and a chance for viewers to see the real Marisa. Seems to know her stuff.

[@ckoronios]

Marisa Tomei! Great Thespian Actor! Mystery, spirits, spirituality, deep body channels, just like Marleene Dietrich!! And May West!! Two Greatest Thespian Actors Ever!! Bravo!! Marisa Tomei!!

[@Fiawordweaver]

My fav with my cousin Vince. Those two were magnificent. Then another fav when she played Stallone’s daughter

[@realRainz]

The greatest actress of our time. Period!

[@Nader89806]

i admire her for being so honest about the difficult experiences reg. The Wrestler But not being rude, just honest She is a great Lady, so talented and cute and just a good thespian

[@dancampeau1963]

Why can't I find someone like her in my lifetime? That would be nice.

[@mcwarhol17]

She was amazing in Happy Accidents

[@foremasp]

She's awesome, wish she sill used a bit of that New York accent.

[@Erulin68]

She actually doesn't have one... her mother, who's an English teacher, constantly corrected her when she was a child so she wouldn't get one. But I get what you mean, you're referring to My Cousin Vinny for which she put on that accent... and that's why she's a great actress.

[@StellaAdler_]

"It's because Im in love with u!" "AH! What kinda excuse is that!" I absolutely love her movies and i wish she had a bigger role with mel gibson in what women want.

[@wmw3629]

She looks EXACTLY like my college sweetheart. Even her laugh and mannerisms. 💔

[@gerrydooley951]

you were a very lucky guy

[@schwenke069]

How bout ya cool. Edit: Incredibly down to Earth ... Love her.

[@flaccidusminimus2170]

She's trying to be diplomatic about not liking "The Wrestler" and finding work with Mickey Rourke to be a chore (a common sentiment).

[@noteworthy2666]

Though very accomplished in Hollywood more so than she will ever admit, I wonder if Marisa has experienced the same issue that Charlize Theron expressed, which was basically boils down to - just too fuckin' hot for most roles?

[@lynnturman8157]

Alec Baldwin said it best: "Do you wanna be an actor or do you wanna be a famous actor. If you wanna be a famous actor than part of me feels sorry for you cause you're not gonna get to do that much acting."

[@charlychips]

I so love Marisa Tomai. Since I was a teenager. By the way what's wrong with the term actress?

[@piranhalegify]

Why doesn't this women have a ring on her finger

[@wmw3629]

She has said she’s happy without one or children.

[@marissamorales3273]
