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.

[@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

[@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! :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@55555gino]

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

[@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.

[@marcsoren7]

She’s hypnotic in Lost Highway, the way she spoke had an anesthetic quality to it

[@magnolianame8818]

She is criminally underrated. Adore her.

[@SugarDougy]

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

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

[@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.

[@Francine5522]

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

[@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.

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

Severance is incredible.

[@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.

[@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 :')

[@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.

[@timothylarson104]

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

[@jurassicpig]

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

[@jaimielevesquesteel7695]

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

[@nichole8609]

My favorite movie of hers is Stigmata.

[@newultrarayden9460]

Hope her sister, Rosanna & brother, David does one of these, too.

[@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! 💙

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@zayn181]

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

[@danifiliparamalho93]

Stigmata stays with me ❤

[@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

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

Elm Street 3 was incredible. I am sorry she had a bad experience on it by the sounds of it. Medium was my highlight of her career (so far) ❤

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.

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.
