Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio Wiki: Early Life, Family, and Education
Of Italian ancestry, Mary is a daughter of Mary Dominica and Frank A. Mastrantonio, a bronze foundry operator. She grew up in Oak Park, Illinois and went to Oak Park-River Forest High School. Upon matriculation, she enrolled at the University of Illinois where she studied voice, before launching her acting career.
The moment she got her first role, Mary showcased her full potential, appearing on Broadway in the revival of “West Side Story”, and was then soon cast as Gina Montana in the Golden Globe Award-nominated crime-drama film “Scarface”, directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and Steven Bauer. The role launched her to prominence and it became easier for the young actress to secure notable roles, and she enjoyed success throughout the ‘80s, becoming one of the most prominent artists of the time. Some of her most popular roles included Carmen in the sports drama film “The Color of Money”, co-starring Paul Newman and Tom Cruise, for which Mary received Oscar and Golden Globe Award nominations for her role. She continued with the part of Helen Drood in the film “Slam Dance” in 1987, then “The January Man” with Susan Sarandon and Kevin Kline, and the sci-fi adventure drama film “The Abyss” in 1989, with Michael Biehn and Ed Harris starring, directed and written by James Cameron.
Continual Success
Mary entered the ‘90s as an acclaimed actress, with several notable appearances credited to her name. In 1991 she reached glory once again with the part of Marian in the critically-acclaimed action-adventure film “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves”, co-starring Kevin Costner as Robin Hood. Nothing changed for Mary, as she was securing role after role that benefited both her reputation and her wealth. She teamed up again with Kevin Kline, this time in the mystery crime-drama film “Consenting Adults” in 1992, then starred again with Al Pacino in the film “Two Bites” in 1995, while in 1999 she and David Strathairn starred in the adventure drama film “Limbo”. https://www.facebook.com/the80show/photos/basw.AbrQNEPA5nTN_z6tjInt6qHxU7yzosUZlI0kDnxZ0Dejwkqw3w1z-Jgadrcm4prA1navCnzLH7-3XBcInuM_JCVkR184h-GhGkS2N2fsZ5-4yKqyOF-4jLvJOF8qiEgCCceIhcYZnmp6qEOEuNQx0vjXCxAlmHFS1Psg7L2pRPvgqA.927068797386343.120480921831.329496787102852.1377063589000514.10152605166874769.725323984225814/1377063589000514/?type=1&opaqueCursor=AbqawjCaIeuXpZC6-oKWiatlxxwThUvnN_mg2ANnjwlccKnnfbcL1LErkMHaO4k3skhMjZhAYzs6bAiBl3rFCXArKn3_r1AZiELof0pNO0mNUPIgVQmCgkNEsEfW-k5IcMRz_cY2oNN47oZh1g1X5fHsQhHsz6E5HUXKoQdojCgRHNNEGgqjMnO1iSFZh7sd2Sp-fUTDKQd1klZeELQcNk4MvSN69sU6_CH8QpthjSAk2qlKDlSc98a3-DqpIwarDouUozfkRNTUvHtDf9Pu6iQ7Wvbpf1dkV7w6ZcCPCRAPPA3U-5JC5LdUWXrY3IIUEqWtODm9LJYMeGimaUQqFTMd8KmhBjdGQgQF6rUAdNiIp4bE-k2xeADOZPF8ANHvvYDWc8uJpVN0xSUolyVD6t8A0L0e1ryDncUKAdjUx1mIt8Ij_g-HvSncBi4JVCDxhtspyevs74ldsZFsfs5slTRNyjLlRodFE6VUUn3dBnHzkTfgpeu9EvwaZfthJsoDVzMm3hnEumGyEbt74vXN2X4koyXn9FyzUBwHzimwdXqy4g&theater
