She was the muse of the great and terrible David Lynch and the adored wife of the eccentric Nicolas Cage. Matthew McConaughey and Christian Slater were crazy about her.
But time does not spare anyone – look how Patricia Arquette looks now!
Patricia Arquette hit Hollywood in the footsteps of her older sister, Roseanne, and pretty quickly overshadowed her. Bright blue eyes with a predatory squint, natural blond hair, a soft southern accent, and luxurious forms bewitched both the directors and the audience. In addition, Patricia turned out to be incredibly talented! And masterful – she completely refused to artificially improve her appearance for the sake of the public, and now she looks exactly like a woman at 54 can look. Remember her bright beauty and see what has become of her now…
Patricia Arquette made her debut in one part of the endless “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and became a star after her role in “True Love” by Tony Scott: all the girls wanted to look, dress and act like her badass Alabama heroine!
From 1995 to 2000 she was the wife of Nicolas Cage. They said that the family broke up just a few months after the wedding – two explosive temperaments could not get along. However, Cage did not let go of his beautiful wife, so they managed to get a divorce only a few years after the break. The couple had no children: Patricia gave birth to a son, Enzo, from a rock musician before she met Nicholas; In her second marriage to actor Tom Jane, she had a daughter, Harvey Olivia Calliope.
Patricia always did just what she wanted. Although she was discouraged, she played two completely different (but equally strange!) Roles with David Lynch in Lost Highway. The movie has become a cult.
Then she starred in Richard Linklater’s “absolutely hopeless” project Boyhood for 11 years, playing the main character’s mother. The idea of the director was that, while his story develops, the actors grew, matured, and aged naturally. The result was stunning, and Patricia Arquette received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for this film.
Her beauty was gradually leaving, but Patricia flatly refused to undergo surgery, anti-aging procedures, or even lose weight on purpose. Viewers of the series “Medium”, which brought Arquette “Emmy” and the great love of the audience of mystical soap operas, in the period from 2005 to 2011 watched with sadness how the bright actress withers.
After “Medium”, the actress played several more short roles, which were remarkable only for her appearance in them.
And finally, fans saw Patricia Arquette in the credits again – she became one of the stars invited to the dark psychological-fiction series Separation. What was their surprise when they saw what the actress had become!
Patricia appeared on the screen with long, completely gray hair. In the story, she again plays two different roles: an eccentric elderly group of hippie practitioners and a tough businesswoman who runs a large unethical company. And in each of the images, silver strands place accents in their own way.
This is not to say that it is ugly, the shade of gray hair is very good and in harmony with the correct features of Arquette’s face. But still, it’s a little sad that only memory remains of the former attractiveness of one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood. And her old films.
