Theresa Russell

Theresa Russell, born Theresa Lynn Paup in 1957, broke through with a role in Robert Altman’s “The Last Tycoon” and gained notoriety for her provocative turn in Nicolas Roeg’s “Bad Timing.” Her marriage to Roeg in 1982 cemented her status as a muse for arthouse cinema, starring in his films like “Eureka” and “Insignificance.” Later, she captivated audiences in “Wild Things” and earned critical acclaim for “The Believer,” before transitioning to television with a lead in “Empire Falls” and a cameo in “Spider-Man 3.”
