Rene Russo

Rene Russo broke into the world of show business on her own. Fans of the actress know what difficulties she faced on the way to fame, and never cease to be amazed at the strength of the artist's character.

Rene Russo was born on February 17, 1954 in the town of Burbank, California. The father of the future celebrity - Nico Russo - left the family when the baby was two years old. The girl's mother was left alone with two small children.

Renee went to study at Burroughs School. When the girl was 10 years old, the child was diagnosed with scoliosis, and for the next four years she wore a support corset. Due to the difficult situation in the family, Renee constantly felt loneliness, and problems with the spine completely undermined her self-confidence. But getting rid of the corset didn't save the day.

It turned out that Rene was taller than her peers, and they began to tease the girl "The Merry Giantess". Problems with classmates, a sense of guilt due to the fact that the mother had to work two jobs in order to raise her daughters, led to the fact that the girl left school. She worked as a cashier in a movie theater and an eyewear factory.

In her youth, the girl was an ardent fan of the Rolling Stones and dreamed of becoming the wife of Mick Jagger. Once she went to a concert of her favorite group, where John Crosby saw the beauty. Impressed by the spectacular brunette, he gave the girl a business card and asked her to call to take a series of test shots for colleagues in Los Angeles. Rene Russo did just that. This was the beginning of her modeling career.

The beauty of the girl impressed not only Crosby, who became the agent of the future artist, but also the Ford modeling agency. Renee moved to New York where she began filming for the Revlon commercial. The girl was wildly worried, but the world famous photographer Richard Avedon, who was conducting the photo session, took Rene under his wing.

Rene Russo was at the peak of her popularity. When the girl was nineteen years old, she starred for the cover of Vogue. Financial independence came along with popularity. The girl bought a house for herself and her mother, repaying the parent for the hardships they suffered in the past.

The girl did not lose her head from fame. She understood that a modeling career would not last a lifetime and she had to think about the future. While filming for the Maternity Catalog, she realized that it was time to move on. After completing the shooting, Rene went to Crosby and asked for help with the world of cinema. This is how the acting biography of Rene Russo began.

She got her first leading role in the TV series Sable in the mid-80s. The show did not last long, but the girl was noticed, and in 1989 she appeared on the big screen in the movie "Major League", in which she played the girlfriend of the main character. This was followed by films "Mister Fate" with James Belushi and "The Good Cop" with Michael Keaton.

The breakthrough happened in 1992. Renee landed a role in the comedy action Lethal Weapon 3 opposite Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. The appearance on the screen in the same tape with such stars did not go unnoticed. Before Lethal Weapon, the girl starred in the movie The Fugitive, where she met her childhood dream, Mick Jagger. However, the artists did not impress each other.

In the 90s, Rene Russo became the ideal of beauty that Americans wanted to see - a strong woman who was able to stand up for herself on an equal basis with a man and did not lose heart under any circumstances. In a similar role, the actress appeared in the films "In the Line of Fire" with Clint Eastwood, "Epidemic" with Dustin Hoffman, "Ransom" and "Lethal Weapon 4" with Mel Gibson.

But the filmography of the artist is not counted in the roles of exceptionally strong women. In 1995, fans saw Renee on screen alongside Danny DeVito and Gene Hackman in the comedy Get Shorty. This was followed by two leading roles in the romantic comedies "Tin Cup" and "Buddy".

Thriller "The Thomas Crown Affair" brought Renee considerable success and $ 5 million in 1999. The actress at that time was over forty. And when other artists at this age fade into the background, she shone in erotic scenes with Pierce Brosnan.

In 1995, the actress played the role of a passive unhappy woman in the film "Ransom", but this experience did not bring results. The heroine is too far from the character of Rousseau herself. At the beginning of the XXI century, the actress starred in the disastrous film "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle." This was followed by two more failed projects "Big Trouble" and "The Show Begins".

In 2005, Rene appeared in the film "Money for Two", where she acted as a producer. This was followed by the film Yours, Mine and Ours. After him, Russo did not act in film for six years. In 2009, the artist remembered her modeling past. She modeled for the Brian Atwood shoe brand. Many noticed that the photos of the gorgeous artist turned out to be stunning.

In 2011, the movie Thor was released based on the Marvel comics. Rene reappeared in the role of a strong woman - Frigga - the queen of Asgard, Odin's wife, mother of the protagonist. In 2013, the sequel to Thor 2: The Kingdom of Darkness was released, in which Rene Russo returned to the role of Frigga.

For her role in the 2014 film Stringer, the actress received a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor and a BAFTA nomination. In 2015, the comedy "The Trainee" was released with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. In the tape, the woman appeared as a masseuse Fiona, who romantically interested the hero of De Niro.

Rene Russo's personal life was successful. She married Dan Gilroy in 1992. Russo's husband works as a screenwriter. The couple met on the set of The Fugitive. Russo wanted to abandon the film, and Gilroy was not going to rewrite the script. But when they met, they changed their minds and eventually began work on the film.

In 1993, a daughter appeared in the family, who was named Rose.

Rene Russo's height is 173 cm.

In an interview, Russo admitted that she is struggling with bipolar disorder.

For 2017, Rene Russo remains one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.

Unlike most celebrities, Rene Russo does not microblog on Instagram. But since November 2017, the artist has a fan page where fans post photos of their favorite actress.
