When she appeared in Big - a movie about a thirteen-year-old boy who gets his wish to be an adult - with Tom Hanks in 1988, Elizabeth Perkins became a star whose stature matched the movie's title. :-)
Perkins made her cinematic debut in 1986 in About Last Night..., based on a David Mamet play. Her other movies include Avalon, Sweet Hearts Dance, and The Doctor, in which she plays a terminally ill cancer patient who inspires a doctor through his own illness.
More recently she was in Must Love Dogs, and she plays the somewhat vindictive Celia Hodes in the in the Showtime cable series "Weeds."
