Biografia

Suffers from insomnia. She allegedly has had a habit of talking on the phone with actor Al Pacino, who also suffers from insomnia.

Audrey Hepburn used to send her clothes.

Is admittedly a late bloomer in terms of electronic devices. She did not know what streaming was, when she was approached to do the Netflix series Stranger Things (2016).

Her agent begged her not to do the comedy Atração Mortal (1989), saying her career would be over.

She was ready to play Jupiter "Joon" Pearl in Benny & Joon: Corações em Conflito (1993) and at the time was dating Johnny Depp. She dropped out of the project upon her break-up with Depp. The role eventually went to Mary Stuart Masterson.

When asked why is she always playing teenagers, during a press junket for Minha Mãe é uma Sereia (1990): Like, I'm nineteen. What am I supposed to do, play a judge?!

I read biographies of the greats, and they were so messed up that I thought I'd better mess myself up. But I couldn't. I'm too small.

For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.

[on Atração Mortal (1989)] It's a brilliant piece of literature, and I call it literature because it really is. I held it up next to "Catcher in the Rye" and all the great books that I've read.

I don't feel threatened like Julia Roberts. Uma Linda Mulher (1990) turned her into an overnight celebrity rather than an actress. Now her whole career is about box-office -- if her movies don't break $l00-million. It's not a burden I'd ever want to carry.
