Marcia Gay Harden - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

This attractive, dark-haired, stage-trained player of film and TV made her feature debut in "Miller's Crossing" (1990), Joel and Ethan Coen's stylish take on the gangster genre. Marcia Gay Harden scored with her sultry, husky-voiced portrayal of Verna whom she described as "a gun-toting, cigarette-smoking, poker-faced moll." While carefully building her film career (which she has admitted in interviews was always her goal), Harden continued to hone her craft on stage. She headlined a 1992 Chicago production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" and acted alongside Paul McCrane and Frank Whaley in the Off-Broadway "The Years" in 1993. Later that year, she earned a Tony nomination for her portrait of a fragile Mormon wife who develops an addiction to Valium as her marriage crumbles in Tony Kushner's landmark two-part epic "Angels in America". Harden then segued to supporting Ed Harris and Beverly D'Angelo in Sam Shepard's "Simpatico", produced at NYC's The Public Theatre in 1994.
