Tea Leoni
February 25, 1966 (1966-02-25) (age 43)
New York City, New York, United States

She was born on February 25, 1966, right in the heart of New York City, United States. Can you believe she actually got her big break back in 1984 starring in the TV series "Santa Barbara"? Since then, she’s been everywhere! She’s had some seriously huge roles in movies like "A League of Their Own" (1992), "Wyatt Earp" (1994), "Bad Boys" (1995), "Flirting with Disaster" (1996), "Deep Impact" (1998), "There's No Fish Food in Heaven" (2000), "Triumph of Love" ("The Family Man"), "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (2001), "Hollywood Ending" (2002), "People I Know" (2002), "Spanglish" (2004), and "House of D" (2004). Honestly, though, a lot of fans really remember her from that TV movie "The Counterfeit Contessa" back in 1994, didn't they?

You didn't include The Family Man, starring her alongside Nicolas Cage. Honestly, if you ask me, that one is easily my favorite.

And you didn't even mention Scandal... I think that's what it's called... with Pacino 😕 That one was actually great 🙂

Jbt - honestly, I thought she’d passed away or something... She’s definitely one of those actresses who is easy on the eyes, though I can't help but feel her career could’ve gone a bit further than it did. Anyway—Bad Boys—when a little blonde girl outshines both lead actors with her comedic timing, you know you're watching something actually decent.

Oh my god, seriously guys, are you trying to give me a heart attack or what? Both movies are right there! When
hollowdriver18😁 pointed it out, I actually jumped a little bit because I was like, "Wait, did I really manage to forget a whole movie?"

She’s definitely one of those actresses who is just a pleasure to watch, though I can't help but feel her career could have been even bigger than it was. Besides—if she can hold her own against the leads in Bad Boys with that kind of wit, then you know she’s actually got some chops.

Hey now, buddy, let's try to be a little more positive here, yeah? Why jump straight to thinking someone died? Knock on wood, let's hope not! 😍

What do you mean by "better"? Are you saying she didn't really live up to her full potential or tap into all that talent she clearly has?

I guess she just needs more solid projects under her belt—she kills it in comedies, can hold her own in action flicks, and has that whole "strong woman" vibe down... but looking at her filmography, it feels like she’s kind of just drifting through nothing special. It seems like she gets more headlines for her husband's appetites than for her actual acting career...

So, I’ve been doing some thinking and finally settled on Hollywood Ending (2002)

Honestly, Tea Leoni and the "crazy" Woody Allen were just fantastic together in this one.
I actually think the movie is great—I’m giving it an 8/10—but I have to admit, Woody isn't exactly carrying the show here; if I were voting based on his performance alone, I’d definitely go with Fun with Dick and Jane instead, since that one feels even stronger, though like I said, Tea was really solid in this too.

What really had me torn was deciding whether to pick this flick or one of these others: The Family Man, Fun with Dick and Jane, or Deep Impact.
Those three, along with the one I eventually chose, are hands down my absolute favorites—or should I say, the best movies this actress has done.

I really have to give a shout-out to Fun with Dick and Jane, though, because man, that movie gave me such a stomach ache from laughing when I first saw it! It was so close—like, seriously close—that I almost voted for it, but after sitting with it for a bit, I still feel like Hollywood Ending is the better film.

For real though, she’s always been a total smoke show to me😁

Is it actually possible that "The Bad Boys" are pulling in the most votes?😕
