Rosanna Arquette has acted extensively in film and television, and has come to be acknowledged as an actress of rare depth and scope. Growing up in a family of actors, she began at a young age. Her first big break came as a teenager with a role in the Movie of the Week _"The Dark Secret of Harvest Home" (1978)_ (qv), which starred 'Bette Davis' (qv). Several television roles followed, including an _"ABC Afterschool Specials" (1972)_ (qv) and a part on the series _"James at 15" (1977)_ (qv) before her talents led to her film debut in _Gorp (1980)_ (qv). Since then she has acted in a steady stream of films, including 'John Sayles' (qv)' _Baby It's You (1983)_ (qv), _Fathers & Sons (1992)_ (qv) with 'Jeff Goldblum' (qv), _Silverado (1985)_ (qv) (which also featured Goldblum), _The Linguini Incident (1991)_ (qv), 'Martin Scorsese' (qv)'s segment of _New York Stories (1989)_ (qv) with 'Nick Nolte' (qv), and many others. She feels particularly proud of her offbeat roles in such independent films as _After Hours (1985)_ (qv), _Nobody's Fool (1986)_ (qv), and _Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)_ (qv), for which she won the British Academy Award. Ms. Arquette was nominated for an Emmy for her work in the controversial _The Executioner's Song (1982) (TV)_ (qv). She continues her work on television as well as the big screen.
