Rebecca de Mornay

Rebecca De Mornay was born 1959 as Rebecca Jane Pearch in Santa Rosa. Rebecca graduated “summa cum laude” from a German-speaking high school in the Austrian alps, and still speaks fluent German and French. She began her acting training in Los Angeles at Lee Strasberg’s Institute and soon thereafter made her film debut in One from the Heart (1981). Rebecca de Mornay was known for her role as Lana from the movie Risky Business, shown in 1983， in which she gave a seductive and critically acclaimed performance as a streetwise woman opposite Tom Cruise.

But as Rebecca savored the success of her acting career, her personal life had to suffer. She had to consult her lawyer to divorce her writer husband Bruce Wagner in the early ’90s. She was also in a relationship with singer Leonard Cohen and Patrick O’Neal, a sports anchor, after. Currently, Rebecca is back on track in show business and has appeared as Dorothy Walker in the hit TV series Jessica Jones.
