Ever wondered what happened to that magnetic brunette who stole scenes in "Pretty Woman" and captivated audiences in "Sex, Lies, and Videotape"? Laura San Giacomo isn't just a '90s icon; she's a multifaceted actress whose career continues to evolve, defying expectations at every turn.
Laura San Giacomo, an American actress of Italian descent, first captured the public's imagination with her unforgettable roles in independent cinema and mainstream hits. While many instantly recognize her from "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" (1989), where she played Cynthia and earned an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female, and "Pretty Woman" (1990), as Kit De Luca, Vivians streetwise confidante, her career spans a wide spectrum of characters and genres. From the quirky Cora in "Quigley Down Under" (1990) to the complex Nadine Cross in "The Stand" (1994) and the sharp-tongued Maya Gallo in the sitcom "Just Shoot Me!", San Giacomo has consistently showcased her versatility and ability to bring depth to every role.
