The Real Reason You Don't Hear About Rene Russo Anymore

Rene Russo seemed to be on top of the world in the '90s. The leading lady was best known for her roles in "Get Shorty," the "Lethal Weapon" series, and the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair," but she announced that she was stepping away from acting in 2005. Russo has made a return in recent years, appearing in the "Thor" films and the critically-acclaimed psychological thriller "Nightcrawler," but what was she up to in the interim, and what caused her to step away in the first place? Let’s take a look at the real reason we don’t hear about Rene Russo much anymore.

What is your favorite Rene Russo movie?

[JiaPia]

I loved Outbreak! I was totally obsessed with Rene Russo in the 90s. I thought she was so ridiculously beautiful. She still looks good to me!

[stuartdamon]

I ❤ her.
Off the Charts with The Thomas Crown Affair.

[DailyDrivenBikes_]

She was great in the Thomas crown affair, and Thor.

[kamanama]

That’s so weird I completely forgot she was in the Marvel universe I didn’t see her as Renee Russo I just saw her playing Thors mom. I think she’s an awesome actress

[growthandunderstanding]

She's 65. 35--25 years too old for 99% of current Hollywood leading lady roles. And that's a fact, Jack.

I love them all. Just watched Outbreak the other day. Sooo happy to see her making another movie.

[jdrs]

I was already crushing on her at 15 when I saw her on Get Shorty.

i loved rene russo, in the thomas crown affair, fay dunnaway, was the insurance investigator in the original thomas crown affair (1968).

[chagobox]

I've only seen her in really few movies and I thing she's a great actriz with something extra that makes her special.

[madmax]

IDK, she does well in all her movies... Thomas Crowne Affair was exceptional I guess.. She played second fiddle to Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, wish she had more of a part to play.... and Jake Gyllenhaal's role is twisted, in Nightcrawler..

[rickhass]

She is a beautiful actress l like the movies she has been in

[cherten]

She was beautiful in The Thomas Crown Affair. I watch it anytime it is on.

[Happyboymargarine]

age.. thats why. she was gorgeous and my wife looked just like her. trust her soul.

[rochlambert]

Who cares what you people think, let her live her life like she wants

[corneliuscannon]

I miss TinCup. I will be trying to set aside a moment to watch it

[boredsilly]

Rene should get one those Frances McDormand roles

[acruz]

Well she got old, what do you expect. Do you want actors and actresses to live forever ? come on you always pick an old actor and ask if we know the real reason we don't see them as much ? what bullshit, who are you kidding?

[candiceperry]

Maybe Rene Russo is taking care of the family Rene has children to take care of
