Marisa Tomei on Late Night (1993)

Marisa Tomei made her first ever appearance on Late Night with Dave on March 3, 1993. In the tradition of Nastassja Kinski, Marisa's hair becomes a major distraction for Dave.

[@Jaseph2]

I love that she’s just so authentic and unpretentious.

[@MGAF688]

In the early 1990s, I was smitten with her beauty. She aged gracefully. She has to be one of the most gorgeous women ever.

[@peterjet3819]

She's smiling even before she's smiling, just glows from within, a truly gorgeous person

[@Redsince66]

What a beautiful way to describe her.

[@jerrybrownell3633]

You feel like you just want to cuddle with Marisa. Her cuteness is overwhelming.

[@kennethgriffin7921]

i wanna f*cker

[@craigcorson3036]

Yeah..."cuddle".

[@gregbarcelonaappliances508]

Hmmm "cuddle"

[@keithhyttinen8275]

Cuddle real good

[@chalkbunt81]

" cuddle" , twice. Then I'm out.

[@titodelpielago9597]

Marisa owns a magical beauty... She shines in an indescribable way...

[@christinav8628]

She is one of my most favorite actresses ever! She deserved her Oscar!

[@frankpavan7865]

She will go on in motion picture history because of her amazing role in " My cousin Vinny"!! Amazing actress!!!❤

[@deldee]

I watched this whole thing with a smile on my face, she's so charming.

[@katherinecruz3849]

I love how she's dressed and presents herself.

[@lout3377]

I just love that little girl she still has in her, especially at 29 yrs old. She's so full of life.

[@hsd287]

And even now in her late 50s ❤

[@oldschool3126]

What a genuinely beautiful person. ❤️

[@SkandalouzStyle]

She's one of those special women who makes you weak at the knees, just by walking in the room! And she still just as beautiful 25 years after my cousin Vinny

[@Spectans1]

And she got it, well deserved, she was phenomenal :)

[@jimhowaniec]

One of the most beautiful actresses ever.

[@DS-mi6hy]

Incredibly beautiful!

[@artranchero]

Unbelievably adorable.

[@melodytitus6570]

Really one of a kind

[@Xaro80]

Marissa laugh is a paradise...

[@noteworthy2666]

Marisa clearly is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood at this point in her prime. You can see why from this camera shot. I don't think it's possible to be more beautiful. Over the years playing roles of people looking a dozen years younger. Not many Hollywood beauties maintain their looks like Marisa has. That's why , in my opinion, she is up there with the greatest beauties of all time.

[@babymammoth34]

Agreed! And I loooove my brown eyed brunette beauties....

[@lescobrandon3047]

She’s the girl next door gal that never lived next door. ☹️

[@daveharris7321]

[@votephillips2564]

send her an engagement ring. she was hilarious in Vinny.

[@lastlaff2777]

Julia-Louis Dreyfuss is another woman who has aged like a fine wine.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

I met her after attending her Broadway play debut, she signed my playbill, and she is rather shy in person. but very sweet.

[@andyappleton3353]

She came off as shy in this interview. Not a shocker.

[@stevemeese9799]

Not to mention completely gorgeous!

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

She's truly lovely!

[@CYP0]

In her prime Marisa Tomei must have been one of the most beautiful woman in the world. Classic Italian-American beauty.

[@PennPearson]

I agree strongly. To me, she was one of the two or three most beautiful women of the 20th Century.

[@Cyb3riano]

She's still in her prime, if you ask me. I'll date her in a second.

[@PennPearson]

@@Cyb3riano I would, too. She's still beautiful.

[@marvinsilverman4394]

as mia sara she is italoamerican and is beautiful

[@naui_diver9290]

She is the most beautiful woman on the planet....

[@keithwestford6924]

She is in her 50's now. Still looks 🔥

[@EnglishMagic777]

After my wife, yes. (my wife might read this)

[@andyb12980]

Truer words have never been spoken, Space Cowboy.

[@basilprabhakar7028]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am sure many people would object to this. Beauty is not about looks....I think nothing skin deep is beautiful. I have met women who were nothing to look at ...but they had a heart of gold. That's what makes you beautiful. And you don't have to look young either.

[@j.dragon651]

@@basilprabhakar7028 put the two together and you got a 10

[@jamesfulton8251]

So beautiful 😍 so full of life, what a young lady❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@likewiselikeyou104]

Impossibly wonderful. And she still is.

[@dowlay8175]

She is so cute and so beautiful love her so much the way she talk so kind everything is lovely

She's so adorable.

[@Cinemabuff97]

Damn, she's cute. Love her laugh.

[@EricHowl]

Her character she created and performance is one of the best ever

[@dzanier]

She is truly beautiful

[@jjmalaprop9968]

Been watching old Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh interviews on Letterman and now Marisa Tomei ... all adorable , intelligent and funny women being interviewed by Dave in his irreverent prime. Great stuff.

[@Rose-Rae]

I swear this woman never ages. She gets more beautiful with time. I love her outfit! Wish I looked that good.

[@tony_anello]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[@jam1ga]

Wow. She really is some thing. Her performance in my cousin Vinny is flawless. Well deserved.

[@detroittechno6453]

My god...she is bloody adorable. I love her.

[@johngalvin3124]

Delectable. An incandescent beauty I could listen to all night.

[@GymClubHouse]

she was a senior in my high school (she went to murrow in brooklyn) when i was a freshman! ahhh, the tv generation. don't miss it one bit. love the internet much more!

[@TheMarioMen1]

Should have smashed rip

[@mypinis]

Class and elegance.

[@johnparton92]

I can't believe she's been single her whole life and no kids.

[@RoadWarrior-lo9vt]

@oooodin I had to look him up, just out of curiosity. I can see that, he's a good looking dude.

[@marissamorales3273]

Because she’s Smart LMAO

[@alexroberts3402]

Yeah she doesn’t believe in marriage or kids.

[@BrokenGodEnt]

@@RoadWarrior-lo9vt Great actor too. He's in a great slow burn horror movie called "The Invitation"

[@andyappleton3353]

@T DoubleU I'm sure you'd like that to be true and whack off to the thought...but it's not true.

[@mizyelsuliguin21]

wow i watched her movie in the perez family.. i never thought her looks and voice would be gorgeous like this

[@larrybrown6937]

She's really delightful.

[@onefatstratcat]

Great actress and a beautiful young woman inside and out

Such a wonderful personality!..

[@vinniepeters1936]

She is soo gorgeous!

[@aikidoisthebombyeah]

elegant and delightfully pretty

[@marydonohoe8200]

She was amazing in My Cousin Vinny! Just riveting, and a great foil for Joe Pesci. Gotta see that again!!!

[@ceonach]

Gotta love this woman.

[@arontamas5639]

Sudden and unexpected wins at the Oscars are the literal best!! The fact she wasn't nominated for Bafta, GG and still managed to win..... For a performance that usually not awarded by the Oscars..... She totally nailed it, whether it was a comedic performance or not, she deserved that Oscar!

[@MrImmabanana]

she's so cute in this interview.

[@Rkhardori]

She is just awesome. Bless her.

[@PVSJuicer]

she is such an amazing actress

[@PeopleMakePictures]

She makes me smile....

[@dougcampbell9786]

It was considered a suprise when she won the Oscar, but all these years later it is one of my most memorable perfirmances, and one that makes me happiest. No one more deserving.

[@massapower]

Adorable :)

[@nikhilanandhegde4781]

Amazing actress

[@camenezes1]

A wonderful combination of Beauty & Brains !!

[@brihmendiola4347]

She's so lovely and charming. I can talk to her all night.❤

Best interview ever

[@frankciborski835]

So sweet.

[@Chrille5782]

Happy 50s Birthday

[@JOHNUDT]

Just realised how the way these interviews have changed over the years

[@treize32]

I can't decide if she looks hotter at the time of this video or right now.

[@B4byB3lles]

She’s so pretty and she seems really nice

[@sonnydin1841]

Marisa Tomei fully deserved her Oscar - no doubt. All the other actors were brilliant in “My Cousin Vinny”, especially Joe Pesci. A wonderful comedy of all time. Thanks for sharing video.

[@cbrown8814]

Dave has mastered the art of keeping things going when he interviews just about anyone... but here, even he has trouble regaining focus on more than one occasion. Its pretty obvious, he is smitten... and who wouldn't be? This is hilarious.

[@delfingarcia8590]

I became a big fan of marissa after watching untamed heart, she is beautiful and a very good actress!

[@QBAN2010]

An underrated movie! I loved untamed heart!!!

[@charliebruceortega8447]

Beautiful,

[@jokerswildio]

Her and Susan Hoffs are my 2 celebrity crushes I never got over since the late 80s...I shoulda married both, as they lasted. Watch Marissa as Edith from All in the Family...man, who would have thought Edith can be so appealing but she does it all in perfect character.

[@apebitmusic83]

You have good taste

[@aperson2020]

What a wonderful interview. Marissa I just loved her in my cousin vinny. Where did she disappear.

[@Eliukcory]

To Spider-Man’s aunti!

[@mrbreez33]

So Cute & Funny, Marisa

[@sharonouellette3429]

I have such a crush on her she so sweet and pretty smart I love her god bless her always

[@aviatorz2fretz]

i was 4 during this interview and she still looks good and I would still do things to this woman. Jesus im in love with her.

[@warrenkundaimusunda4175]

I'm eight years younger than you but Marisa tomei is one hottie. I loved her in my cousin vinny

[@bandito818]

That was the year I was born but I love that woman!

[@warrenkundaimusunda4175]

I'm four years younger than you but I'm in love with her. if she had a daughter im after her lol

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

Great actress, a highly authentic Maine accent "In The Bedroom" , and a lovely job in that role.

[@MaximRecoil]

No actor in any movie or TV show has ever believably faked a Maine accent. Tomei's accent in that movie was just her own accent for the most part, with a few attempts here and there to affect a Maine accent. Her attempt wasn't the worst in the movie though; that "honor" goes to Celia Weston. The only actors in that movie who could have legitimately passed for native Mainers were the ones who didn't try to fake an accent at all (or barely tried), like Nick Stahl. A neutral American accent is perfectly valid for a Mainer, while a fake Maine accent isn't.

[@ramwagon11]

Most beautiful woman ever

[@rashdan1994]

I like her smile

[@JangoFett220]

This is from before I was born and she looks almost identical to to what she looks like in civil war

[@andrea22213]

Get older!

[@GettingThereDC]

how can you not be charmed be charmed by her?

[@stanmaster1205]

Always been gorgeous

[@Eds518]

She seems so down to earth. Loved her in My Cousin Vinny ❤.

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

…she’s fantastic, absolutely GREAT‼️ Simple fact of unique presence and natural, hugely talented spontanaiety…👊🔥🥂

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

It's kind of weird Marisa Tomei could never become a leading lady coz she has all the qualities of being a superstar actress

[@lawrencedorfman5543]

Just pure Beauty

[@Wooley689]

She is such a doll,

[@whatup4340]

Man she is so beautiful...

[@Yorksbloke]

She didn’t just steal “My Cousin Vinny”. She threw a book through the movie’s shop window, grabbed it, took it home and ....

[@lomarsweed6604]

That's.... stealing. But with a broken window for dramatic effect.

[@keithhyttinen8275]

She deserved that supporting actress Oscar that she won for "My Cousin Vinny". Wonderful performance. And Fred Gwynne was a hoot too. "What's a Yoot?" LOL

[@classyfilms]

She's also an expert in automotive knowledge and tire tracks.

[@robertbates6249]

and tune ups

[@stevecam724]

Such a gorgeous woman, inside and out 💖

[@Eliminator5555]

She's so gorgeous.

[@mikebarker7626]

What a sweetheart she is

[@hobokenplayboy]

Marisa Tomei is Italian. She is from Brooklyn and had to relearn the dialect because her mother teaches high school English. Mrs. Tomei didn't want her children to say: "DEM, DESE & DOZERS."

[@CraigJordanLA]

I’m from Long Island, Italian descent too and an actor and I can almost guarantee she was told to lose her accent or she’d never play anything but “mob dolls”. She was really good on A Different World in the 80s playing one of the few white students at a historically black college. Anyway isn’t it funny that she had to re-learn the dialect in order to win the role of a lifetime

[@CraigJordanLA]

My mom and dad were HS English teachers too and were always grilling me about grammar and pronunciation 😆

[@tillyboos]

I attended the same Brooklyn high school that Marisa did -- and we were ALL IMMENSELY PROUD of her.

[@chalkbunt81]

What about, " Dat"? As a New Yawker myself, this is sometimes enunciated as aforementioned, but also, " Zat", when elided quickly with Was- " Wasatt". Said staccato like, it sounds " " What's Dat". Now dis also works with whose, like " Whoseatt", or Whose Dat.

[@dizzlebizzle8424]

everyone talking bout how much they love Marisa, and ofc me too, but damn i miss guys like Dave in entertainment

[@hobokenplayboy]

This clip is BEFORE Marisa Tomei appeared on SEINFELD with co-star Jason Alexander.

[@michaelross4611]

She`s too cute for words
