René Russo seemed to explode into visibility during the '90s, with Lethal Weapon 3, Outbreak, and The Thomas Crown Affair. After two decades, she has returned with Nightcrawler and the Thor series, reading lines just to prove that she is still a talented actress.

Russo made her choice to give ample time for family, and so her presence in Hollywood is rare, but an impact nonetheless. Her return movies received critical acclaim, proving talent never fades with time.
