Brooklyn-born Tomei fell in love with acting after being taken to shows by her parents. She dropped out of university after landing a role in a soap opera, won an Oscar for My Cousin Vinny, and she has also dated Robert Downey Jr. She’s also been applauded for her role alongside Mickey ‘face like a smashed crab’ Rourke in The Wrestler, not least because the hard bodied 44-year-old was wearing her smalls for most of it.
