Patricia Arquette Reflects On Her Career, from 'True Romance' to 'Holes' | Vanity Fair

[@kaylamanor]

She is, hands down, the most underrated actress of my generation. I’ve been drawn to her since Elm St because she’s an absolute natural. I also truly adore watching her career choices, and her ability change along with the rest of us. She’s the 🐐

[@SonhosPodemMudarDestino]

I love the show Medium

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

I mean she has an Oscar and multiple Emmys

[@jacobskinner3522]

@@blackguyofthesouth2161 thankfully she does, but actors can have major awards and still be underrated by the public, directors, casting directors, etc. See Dianne Wiest, Chris Cooper, and many others.

[@duewhit310]

Dont wanna dream no more! She was MAJESTIC!!!

[@debramorales4283]

Agreed.... But Also Has The Best Looking Sister In Hollywood ❤

[@irock550]

Her performance in Holes has always been so chilling to me. She encapsulated that character so beautifully! One of my favorites!

[@enterthebruce91]

Her performance in Escape at Dannemora was incredible!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

@@enterthebruce91 she had no vanity in that, she pulled off an incredible performance.

[@misskmissy3168]

Beautiful story.

[@melissawaldronredhotnow]

I am an addict for Medium, she has such a large range of emotions, she is funny and then can become enraged in one scene! I think Patricia Arquette is one of the best actors around today

[@trinaq]

I grew up watching Patricia on "Medium" and "Holes", and now she's an Oscar Winner! She's always fantastic, no matter how big or small her role is.

[@KevinHaynes-qv1zd]

@Trina Q you forgot that Patricia Arquette was in Little Nicky with Adam Sandler

[@Francine5522]

​@@KevinHaynes-qv1zd I forgot that one 😂

[@KevinHaynes-qv1zd]

@@Francine5522 yes of course that was the only Adam Sandler movie that she's been in plus her former sister in law Courteney Cox did a movie with him called Bedtime Stories

[@Trinighurl1975]

I've got a Samsung TV so I feel so fortunate to get to watch Medium 24/7. She's been one of my favorite actors for decades.

[@tessachiaragrasl6335]

Patricia has a place in my heart forever. I was offered braces for my crooked teeth as a child and teenager, all the time. Everyone told me I should get them fixed. Through some kind of weird coincidence I saw Medium on TV and immediately fell in love with Patricia and her acting. It took me a few years to even realise she has crooked teeth she never got fixed, too. I had always considered maybe getting braces one day but ever since I found that out about Patricia I love my crooked teeth and her even more! :)

[@55555gino]

She needs more great material. She’s an incredible actress

[@BOOMER751]

She seems like such a down to earth person. I really loved her in True Romance, Medium, Boyhood and Severance. I love her sister's career too.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

totally agree

[@magnolianame8818]

She is criminally underrated. Adore her.

[@hinhwood1629]

Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was stunningly creative and original. And those practical effects have aged so much better than the CGI

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

yes, real/practical effects are appreciated after people are using CGI. Del toro is a believer of practical effects and it's a great choice.

[@SugarDougy]

I frickin LOVE "High Desert"!! Never knew Patricia had such comedic chops.

[@johna837]

Patricia Arquette is a masterful artist and compelling in everything she graces. She's also so likable and cool it seems. She's someone who consistently delivers brilliant and believable artistry and yet someone I'd enjoy hanging out with in real life.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

she is SO herself and that's appealing. Her honesty permeates her life, career.

[@Francine5522]

She's fabulous, such a quirky lady. I haven't seen all her movies but I will always remember her in True Romance 💒

[@britneylapierre2134]

Out of all the interviews I have seen on here, I think she has one of the most interesting yet beautiful outlooks on life.

[@politecat4236]

Why isn't Stigmata in the film list? That movie is incredible

[@visam28]

Great movie yes!

[@SexyButCurious]

Yeah I just rewatch this movie for the first time as an adult and it's definitely memorable to me so im surprised she didn't talk about it

[@Baphometrose]

Mad crush at Gabriel Byrne in that movie.

[@c.t.4837]

I love it

[@PrettyinScarlett03]

That's what I was looking for

[@timothylarson104]

You are my very favorite actress of all time! Watched all the Medium series and prolly every movie and your beautiful ❤❤❤

[@dennisostergards6504]

This is the first time I have seen Patricia Arquette talking about A nightmare on Elm Street 3. She’s a great actress and I love her siblings as actors too.

[@alexaofelia2750]

I was obsessed with Holes growing up and True Romance has always been one of my top favorite movies!! When Medium was on the air my grandparents would TiVo it every week, and every Thursday after school I'd go to their house and we'd watch it together :')

[@jurassicpig]

She has a brilliant mind, a deep and honest soul.

[@deadandburied7626]

CSI:Cyber was made by Patricia, loved it!

[@GreenWeenie311]

Love her, True Romance is an all time favorite. She seems so down to earth, creative, loves her craft, stays out of the spotlight it hasn't gotten her face stretched out, I admire and respect her as a woman.

[@OpeningsOpenings]

I so admire her acting She is a true artist

[@JoaoPedroCanhenha]

She's such a wonderful and underrated actor.

[@prittykirst]

shes so incredible. loved her since freddy and will love her forever! we need more Patricia talent

[@bgeorgiam]

i love how she expressed her love for families who watched medium together, me and my mum did that, it was one of the first shows i remember getting really into and following the story line :)

[@AironExTv]

I had a lot of fun watching Severance. She's both a menacing presence and a sweet person in it. I'd almost forgotten about Nightmare On Elmstreet 3. Nice to walk down some of those film memories.

[@octosparkTC]

Fell in love with her watching her play Kristen Parker in Elm Street 3; I was 13. Been following her career passionately since. She's immensely singular. And smart.

How could you skip "Stigmata"?!?!?! That is THE Patricia Arquette movie!!!

[@missVmilne]

Compelling performances - every time. This is a wonderful and generous insight showing how her honed skillset is so adaptable. Thank you Patricia xx

[@almost_harmless]

Had a crush on her in Nightmare on Elm Street and loved her in True Romance. She brought authenticity and feminity to her character in the latter.

[@JDLS-v8p]

I totally get why she and Nicolas Cage were together at one point. They are so serious about their craft and cinema in general. I love Patricia, she is amazing in everything she’s done

[@davidl2569]

I've loved this lady for as long as I can remember, but this interview has catapulted my resepect for her to a whole new dimension. ❤ U Patricia

[@raisaaa2]

Medium raised me. Such an underrated show

[@SuperSPatrick]

True Romance is, was, and will always be my favorite movie of all time, and she will always be my favorite actress. I loved her in Holes, and everything else. Patricia, you're amazing! xo

[@rsolsjo]

Grew up watching her in Elm Street 3 and Stigmata a dozen times each and watching her again in Severance recently was great.

[@Jumbaride]

NOES 3 and Stigmata were incredible for me! 💙

[@MaNkYmInX]

I love her! Great and underrated actress. Sure wished she talked about Stigmata. She was fantastic in that. She's awesome in all she was in!

Absolutely loved her in medium 🥰🥰🥰

Patricia is so well rounded and multifaceted. you know when you pick one of her films, it’s going to be amazing. just love her!

[@SarahPerine]

I just love Patricia Arquette💚💚💚

[@BlueAlien1313]

One of my favorite female actors. Loved her so much in True Romance and Bringing Out The Death that I bought both movies. She is criminally underrated. Been a fan since the 90s and still a fan. You are aging beautifully as well.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

she can do comedy as well. Loved her in "flirting w Disaster".

[@SaveRobbie]

She was amazing in “The Act”

[@mattbernabe]

Fantastic actress! I thought 2019 was an incredible comeback year for Arquette. Of course, she won the Oscar a few years before, but after that, there was nothing worthy of her talent until 2019. Her performances in Escape at Dannemora and The Act were my favorite performances of 2019. What a way for her to show her amazing range as an actress with these 2 different characters. If those two limited series were turned into films, she would be my picks to win the Oscars for Best Actress and Supporting Actress. Thankfully, she won the Golden Globe for Escape at Dannemora and the Emmy for The Act. Well deserved wins.

[@PowderClaws]

And I just watched Nightmare on Elm Street yesterday and here she is

[@John-ev3rm]

I tell you true, of all the great actresses out there, Patricia has always been my favorite.

[@rebeccarufer7210]

best one of these interviews I’ve EVER seen

[@nichole8609]

My favorite movie of hers is Stigmata.

[@iambiggus]

What a talented person and family! Huge fan!

[@anitahargreaves9526]

I actually like the fact you don't hear her being asked a question and she answers naturally, flowing, imo.

[@danifiliparamalho93]

Stigmata stays with me ❤

[@sconethrowerproductions]

She's incredible. What a talent

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

and such a well rounded, sane person. A lovely personality.

[@Jen-sd2vy]

She also did a FANTASTIC job in her role in Wildflower...where she stared with Reece Witherspoon. She is an incredible actress that should receive a lot of recognition for her acting talent!!!!!!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

yep. Actress Diane Keaton directed it. Great film

[@vincentcerasoli5969]

Please bring back Medium. What a great show.

Patricia may not be the most well known household name, but anyone who appreciates movies knows. She's an actor's actor.

[@KatieKamala]

She's a brilliant actress and intelligent woman. I love that she cares so much for her craft and expresses the way that artistic talent is increased by brave choices and taking chances.

WOW! I've seen her in The Act. She's so attractive IRL!

[@manantial773]

Escape at Dannemora and The Act are her best performances, her choices in both are so brave and inspiring, thankfully, she won the SAG for the former and the Emmy for the latter. A high class of an actress!

Loved that film. She was so young and delivered such a great performance. I bought the film. LOL BTW: actress Diane Keaton directed the film. WOW

You forgot her role, in Little Nicky, in 2000 with Adam Sandler - she was great in the movie.

[@garygilfillan202]

I'm so glad she talked about Nightmare 3. She never does.

[@jalenjohnson1662]

It’s the first time I’ve ever heard her talk about it outside of press interviews for the film back in the 80’s.

[@zayn181]

Holes was too short I wanted to know everything about her experience on the film 😫😫😫

[@TheLovelylove]

The Ed Wood segment, LOVE the story of meeting Ed's Wife Kathy and that Beautiful story of how Ed gave her a dead gardenia to go with the Rust Colored suit. How he didnt cast people or things away,at every stage of their life.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

she seems so "inclusive" and understanding. Not one to knock other people. She helped and accepted her sister Alexis after she transitioned. Didn't un-love her. Just an open arms kind of person/family. Very sweet and generous.

[@Nick-ty9us]

Her grandfather was a radio performer Cliff Arquette

[@peadar-o]

Boyhood is my favourite one of hers ❤❤❤

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

lovely and insightful film. A few people I know didn't get it, thought it "slow". Needless to say, I disagree and question their film expertise. LOL

[@zuzek96]

So glad they included Nightmare in this

[@MeetSlyEvps]

Medium 🙌🏾

[@officialndilhm.x1]

Clean! Love this 👌🏽❤️

[@limitbassfishing2733]

Stigmata was by far her best role

[@dndndndndn419]

I feel like she’d be a great dinner party guest - so insightful

[@Lemoncatsf]

I have always loved Patricia Arquette. One of her more unique films is Human Nature which has been a longtime favorite. Her performances never disappoint.
