PATRICIA ARQUETTE

Patricia Arquette is one of her generation’s most overlooked and versatile actresses, with her expressive blue eyes, gentle, Southern-tinged voice, and an acting range that can take her from hysterically funny to frightening in seconds. It is known in her personal life that Patricia had a relationship with the musician Paul Rossi and that they had a son. She married actor Nicolas Cage in 1995, but they split after just nine months.

Given her good reputation, it might be very surprising to see the versatile and decorated star on this list. The actress enjoyed her share of fame in Hollywood as she had won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress after her appearance in the film 2014 Boyhood. She received a lot of credit from film critics for her performance, but her phenomenal recognition didn’t help her career any further. Since her win, Arquette only took part in smaller productions. Some speculated that her misfortune might be the consequence of her controversial acceptance speech where she accused Hollywood producers of being chauvinistic and unfair with regards to wages.
