Overview

  • In a July Page Six interview, De Mornay said she is “really, really proud” of her former Risky Business costar’s enduring achievements.
  • She described Cruise as a “major chord” and herself as a “minor chord” to highlight their divergent creative paths.
  • The two met filming 1982’s Risky Business in suburban Chicago and dated for nearly three years after the movie’s 1983 release.
  • While Cruise built blockbuster franchises including Top Gun and Mission: Impossible, De Mornay chose grittier roles in films such as Runaway Train and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
  • She is currently promoting Saint Clare, a thriller starring Bella Thorne as an avenging serial killer, which is available now.
