She gained prominence in the ’90s as Donna Hayward in “Twin Peaks” and has appeared in nearly 60 roles, including notable films like “Wayne’s World” and “The Practice.” Since 2015, she has largely stepped away from the limelight, with her last role in the 2020 film “Death in Texas.”
Joe Pantoliano, known for his role as Norby, was 42 during filming and is now 71. A seasoned actor, Pantoliano has amassed a remarkable portfolio with over 1,550 credits, including “The Goonies” and “The Sopranos,” where he won an Emmy for his performance.
Brian Haley, who played Vico at 31, has continued to work steadily and is now 60, appearing in films like “Gran Torino” and series like “Maggie Winters.” Similarly, Cynthia Nixon, aged 56 now, has thrived in both film and stage, famously portraying Miranda Hobbs in “Sex and the City” and winning multiple Tony Awards.
The late Fred Thompson, who played FBI Agent Dale Grom, enjoyed a multifaceted career as an actor, politician, and columnist until his passing in 2015. Anna Thompson, now 69, has maintained a steady acting career with roles in “Unforgiven” and “True Romance.”
