John Cusack), RAISE YOUR VOICE, RUNAWAY TRAIN, A TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, TESTAMENT, AND GOD CREATED WOMAN, FEDS, BACKDRAFT, GUILTY AS SIN, THE THREE MUSKETEERS, NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS, THE WINNER (which she also executive-produced), and a cameo in THE WEDDING CRASHERS. She also recently completed the independent films AMERICAN VENUS, and THE MUSIC WITHIN (with
Michael Sheen).
On network television, De Mornay has had multi-episode story arcs on E.R., THE PRACTICE, BOOMTOWN, and she recently guest-starred on LAW AND ORDER: SVU. She has also starred in the television films GETTING OUT by Marsha Norman and NIGHT RIDE HOME (with Ellen Burstyn), as well as in the mini-series AN INCONVENIENT WOMAN (with Jason Robards), Stephen King's THE SHINING and SALEM WITCH TRIALS.
Rebecca is currently shooting HBO's new series JOHN FROM CINCINNATI by David Milch. Her other work on HBO includes the films THICK AS THIEVES (with Alec Baldwin), THE RIGHT TEMPTATION (with Kiefer Sutherland) and BLINDSIDE (with Rutger Hauer).
