Penelope Ann Miller

Penelope Ann Miller was nominated for a Golden Globe for her memorable performance as Gail in Brian DePalma's CARLITO'S WAY co-starring Al Pacino and Sean Penn. Once named Star of Tomorrow by the Motion Picture Bookers Club and Most Promising Actress by the Chicago Film Critics Association, Miller also received a Hollywood Film Festival Special Jury Award for Best Performance for her role as Lilah Bloom in the television feature RHAPSODY IN BLOOM. She also received a Tony Award nomination for her portrayal as Emily in Broadway's Tony-winning revival of Our Town.

Her other film credits include: AWAKENINGS with Robert De Niro and Robin Williams; OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY opposite Danny DeVito and Gregory Peck; KINDERGARTEN COP co-starring Arnold Schwarzenegger; and, THE FRESHMAN with Marlon Brando and her BILOXI BLUES co-star Matthew Broderick.
