Elizabeth McGovern

Biography

A large-eyed, slightly baby-faced stage and screen performer with an expressive face and throaty voice, McGovern first gained attention as Conrad Jarrett's (Timothy Hutton) supportive and understanding girlfriend in the Oscar-winning "Ordinary People" (1980).

The willowy redhead followed with a stunning turn as Evelyn Nesbit in Milos Foreman's adaptation of the E.L. Doctorow novel "Ragtime" (1981) netting a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

While subsequent projects found her working with a number of top film directors, she failed to find roles that utilized her unique beauty and challenged her range and talent. She appeared as the object of Robert De Niro's obsession in Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America" (1984) and as Kevin Bacon's pregnant wife in John Hughes' "She's Having a Baby" (1988).

In 1989, McGovern offered two diverse performances as Mickey Rourke's sympathetic girlfriend in Walter Hill's "Johnny Handsome" (1989) and as a rebellious lesbian in Volker Schlondorf's nonsensical thriller "The Handmaid's Tale" (1989). McGovern fared better in the little seen romantic comedy-drama "The Favor" (1994) and was featured in the groundbreaking "Wings of Courage" (1995), Jean-Jacques Annaud's period adventure, the first dramatic film shot in the IMAX 3-D format. She also appeared in support of Helena Bonham Carter in the period drama "The Wings of the Dove" (1997).

McGovern has starred as Lady Marguerite Blakeney in the TV film "The Scarlet Pimpernel",and its two sequels "The Scarlet Pimpernel Meets Mademoiselle Guillotine" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel and the Kidnapped King" (all 1999). In 2000, McGovern had roles in the films "Manilla" and "The House of Mirth".

McGovern engaged in high profile romantic relationships with Sean Penn and Rob Reiner before marrying English producer-director Simon Curtis in 1992.
