| Madeleine Stowe's father was a California-based civil engineer and her mother was a Costa Rican emigre. Stowe attended University of Southern California, but cut classes to watch plays. Her "career" as a waitress came to an end when she was fired for being "too spacey." She was anything but spacey when it came to pursuing an acting career in the California theatre circuit. Fortunately, Stowe attracted the attention of Richard Dreyfuss' agent -- not for her stage work, but because the agent spotted her watching one of Dreyfuss' stage appearances. This serendipitous turn of events enabled Stowe to attain a bit part on the TV series "Baretta," which led to more substantial roles on other programs. While working on the mid 1980s miniseries "The Gangster Chronicles," Stowe met her husband, future "Dream On" star Brian Benben. Stowe's screen career has not exactly been a string of hits -- did anyone really see Worth Winning (1989), Closet Land (1990), and Blink (1994)? -- but she has usually been able to garner excellent reviews and positive audience response, so that when she is in a bonafide hit like The Last of the Mohicans (1992), reviewers will be inclined to credit Stowe for at least some of the film's success. |
