Frances McDormand's first film would be in the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple. Her part was Abby, one of the main women caught up in a deadly love triangle. McDormand demonstrated remarkable depth and subtlety in that role, instantly proving herself to be able to convey complex emotions realistically. Her portrayal of a woman trapped in a violent scheme helped set the tone for a career filled with bold, dynamic roles. Blood Simple was the beginning of McDormand's spectacular career and even started her mythological career in collaboration with the Coens.
