I remember when I accidentally bumped into her when I was a young man and she was one of the top fashion model/cover girls in the world. She gave me such a wonderful smile that it warmed me from to top of my head to the bottom of my shoes. I'll never forget it. But I never thought she become a top actor as well. She surprised us all.
Greetings from Jacksonville Florida USA. I think that she's fabulous. She was breathtaking in The Thomas Crown Affair. So much better than the original, thanks primarily to her, no matter what they say.
Why did you leave out any mention of the movie Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman? It was a successful movie, 190 million worldwide.and she really showed her acting chops in it.
Rene Russo was probably the last Actresses to successfully traverse from the New York Fashion scene to a long and credible Hollywood screen career since Grace Kelly. Even Al Pacino knew and knew of her without too much common familiarity.Because of that, Rene might be an overlooked Hollywood and Pop legend. Other Models ( Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer) did the obligatory action / " this is them" film, but didn't endure over time. Rene even took time off from her film career and blue collar values to raise her daughter and do some self improvement to return later. I kept waiting for some " well what did you expect" moment someplace, but she's led a pretty quiet life with her Husband. Happy Birthday Rene
Actually she starred in Lethal Weapon 3 back in 1992, then in Ramson 1996, Buddy in 1997, Lethal Weapon 4 was in 1998. I think you skipped that one hehe
You can only state what she did. You can only GUESS why. You don't really know what she was thinking. You are not a mind reader. Nice try. I find her amazingly beautiful and enjoyable to watch. Especially enjoyed Thomas Crown Affair.
I always laugh at these. Who in their right mind would continue their acting career after they made enough money to retire? If I was a movie star I’d be in one movie, maybe two, then you’d never see me again. I’d be fishing in a cheap boat living in a cheap house for the rest of my life.
She just aged out of roles as the star of the movie. No big mystery as it happens all the time. IMO, she had a great run and I always enjoyed her with the exception of the monkey movie......yeah, that was a boo boo.
Thomas Crown Affair is a fabulous movie, she was sexy, string, determined character. There weren’t that many described as that for any actress at her age at that time. Here again, a film is successful cuz of the men, a movie is bad cuz of the females. A Super ugly double standard. All the men in the movies that failed, the men’s careers were not affected. Huh.
She is 68 years old for God sake. Am sure she is enjoying her life with husband and family. I like her movies.
Rene Russo is a gifted and beautiful Actress. She always portrayed her roles wonderfully.

Not to mention, Get Shorty, a hilarious film. She was great in that one.

What a looker. Great in In the Line of Fire with Eastwood, and The Thomas Crown affair with Brosnan.
I was pleasantly surprised to see her in Nightcrawler (a very underrated film) in 2014.
"Thomas Crown" placed Mz Russo on the top Sex Symbol list. Not bad for 40 in Hollywood!
One of the prettiest and seductive faces in Hollywood.
Personally, I liked Tin Cup. By comparison it’s not one of the best sports or Costner movies, but it’s fun and Russo is great in it.
I like her. I've enjoyed watching many of her movies too ☺ 😊
She was good in the lethal weapon movies.
Thomas Crown Affair she was excellent!😊
She recently had a small but important Role in some of the Thor Movies, she has hardly disappeared
I loved Tin Cup. I don't think of her as dropping off. She is one of the greats.

Didn't mention "The Intern" with Robert De Niro.
Basically, she's a survivor
Beautiful woman. Loved her movies.

I like her older
She was great in Get Shorty

Why her career cooled off? Because she committed the ultimate Hollywood sin. She got older.
Brava
Skipped over the whole Hill Street Blues period of her career on TV ?
The fact that she didn't age well ended her career. Old men seem to still get rolls, old women rarely do.
She had already aged out in The Thomas Crown Affair.
Thomas Crown Affair is a fabulous movie, she was sexy, string, determined character. There weren’t that many described as that for any actress at her age at that time.

Tin Cup?
She was an eater way back then
Burnout
She got old. End of story.
Who cares!
Good actress but not a star
