Joan Cusack has been acting for decades. She’s had steady work in TV and films. Her roles in Shameless and In & Out earned her praise. Despite her talent, her career is often overshadowed by her brother John. John became a star in the 1980s with hits like Say Anything and High Fidelity. Joan earned Oscar nominations, but her work never received the same level of fame. She’s respected in Hollywood as a character actress. Still, John’s fame is more mainstream.
