See how Rosanna Arquette has changed over time

Best known for her roles in 'Pulp Fiction' and 'New York Stories,' Rosanna Arquette is an actress, producer, and director of undeniable talent. Growing up in a family with a significant surname and starting her career at a young age, she has long been accustomed to living in the spotlight. But do you know her story?

The Arquette family's talent can be traced back to the actress's grandfather, TV comedian Cliff Arquette. Her father, Lewis, chose acting over comedy, a path followed by Rosanna and her siblings as well: David, an actor and wrestler, and former husband of Courtney Cox; Alexis, an actress and transgender activist who passed away in 2016; Richmond, an actor; and Patricia, perhaps the most well-known, especially thanks to her Oscar for the movie 'Boyhood' in 2015.

According to Tribute, until the age of 15, Rosanna Arquette lived with her family in an artists' commune in rural Virginia. She then decided to hitchhike to San Francisco with friends and try her luck in the entertainment world.

Her debut came in 1977 with a part in the historic musical 'The Metamorphoses' by Ovid at the Callboard Theatre on Melrose Place in Los Angeles.

From then until now, Rosanna Arquette has had an incredible career. Let's retrace the most significant moments of her professional and private life and see how she has changed over the decades.

After her theater debut, she had her first film set experience in 'American Graffiti 2' (1979), where she landed a minor role. The same year, she became the lead in the comedy-drama series 'Shirley' (1979-1980).

In the following years, she secured more and more roles, significantly enriching her filmography. Among the films shot during that period is 'The Executioner's Song' (1982), an adaptation of Norman Mailer's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

She starred in several successful 1980s films, such as 'Baby It's You' (1983) and 'Desperately Seeking Susan' (1985, pictured). She shot the latter film alongside Madonna and it became a cult classic of that era.

In the following years, the actress managed to secure several roles in independent films, including 'Silverado,' 'The Big Blue' (1988, pictured), and 'The Linguini Incident' (1991).

In 1989, Scorsese wanted her again for the movie 'New York Stories.' Later, she was part of the cast in Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction' (1994) and David Cronenberg's 'Crash' (1996, pictured).

After a success that seemed to have taken her to the Olympus of Hollywood, in the second half of the '90s, the actress's career appeared to come to something of a halt. In a 2007 interview, as reported by the Independent, the actress shared her reasons for this as "I took a different path," she said in 2007. "I went for the little artistic films that spoke to me."

But then, after Harvey Weinstein's abuse of actresses moved from a Hollywood secret to public news, she told the Telegraph in 2019 that she believes that her "life and career was heavily impacted by saying no" to mega producer Harvey Weinstein, who is now imprisoned for for s e x u a l assault. "I've had times where the director really wanted me and then the studio wouldn't go with me. It's hard. Many women lost a big chunk of our lives."

Rosanna Arquette was one of the first accusers of Weinstein, involving an incident in the early '90s. She was also among the first to join the #MeToo movement in October 2017.

According to her interview with The New Yorker, Arquette had rejected explicit advances from Weinstein, who had invited her to a hotel room to pick up a screenplay. Since that episode, Arquette's career had never been the same.

In the early 2000s, she frequently worked on television, playing minor roles in episodes of series like 'The Practice' (2003), 'Will & Grace' (2003, pictured), and 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' (2005).

During the same decade, she also appeared in various films, including 'Dead Cool' (2004), 'Crazy for Love' (2005), 'Welcome to California' (2005), and 'Repo Chick' (2009), but always in supporting roles.

Later, in 2011, she joined Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener, and Elizabeth Olsen in the movie 'Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding.' She also made an appearance in the series 'Girls' in 2013 and participated in the series 'Ray Donovan' between 2013 and 2014. In 2015, she was among the stars of the film 'Kill Your Friends.'

Among her most recent films are 'Frank & Lola' (2016), 'Love Is Love Is Love' (2020), 'Puppy Love' (2021), 'Signs of Love' (2022), and 'Ex-Husbands' (2023).

Rosanna Arquette has had four marriages: first with Anthony Greco in 1979, then with James Newton Howard in 1986, followed by John Sidel, with whom she had a daughter, Zoe. Her fourth marriage was with Todd Morgan (pictured) in 2013. However, the two separated in 2022.

Among Rosanna Arquette's romances were notable singer and composer Peter Gabriel and Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro (pictured). For many years, it was thought that Toto's famous song 'Rosanna,' written by David Paich, was dedicated to her, but several music magazines, including Musicoff, agree that Paich used her name only because it fit perfectly with the chorus.

Despite the ups and downs in her life, Rosanna Arquette has shown a continuous passion for her work and social causes, demonstrating her resilience and dedication in both her career and personal life.
