"A lot of people in the movie industry tend to run and hide from it like ostriches. Movie industry people are definitely in denial right now, but you do become desensitized to violence when you see it on the screen so often. Let's face it, violence exists for one reason in movies, and that's to get an effect, create an emotion, sell tickets."

| After her breakout role in Stakeout (1987), Madeleine Stowe went on to play awesome roles in such '90s film fare as Revenge (1990), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Short Cuts (1993), Twelve Monkeys (1995), and The General's Daughter (1999). |

| We're impressed by Madeleine Stowe's litany of memorable roles that seem to belie her sometimes limited exposure to film audiences. And while the sporadic nature of her 25-year acting career is due in part to her withdrawn personality, we have to respect her honesty in finding her own way. |

Madeleine Stowe Mora was born on August 18, 1958, in Eagle Rock, a working-class neighborhood of Los Angeles. The daughter of a civil engineer from Oregon and a Costa Rican migr, Madeleine was a quiet and shy child. At age 10, she began training as a concert pianist with Sergei Tarnowsky, Vladimir Horowitz's childhood instructor. Madeleine loved the piano, recalling that "practicing for hours every day was an excuse to stay away from other kids."
However, when Tarnowsky died in 1976, Madeleine decided to quit the piano and develop her social life, since she had been a wallflower throughout high school.
Enrolling at UCLA soon after, Madeleine studied film and journalism for a while but eventually dropped out without completing a degree. She began to volunteer at Beverly Hills' Solaris Theater, and soon took up acting there. Madeleine earned her first professional credits on television, in such made-for-TV movies as The Nativity and The Deerslayer (both 1978), miniseries such as Beulah Land (1980) and The Gangster Chronicles (1981), and television programs such as The Amazing Spider-Man and Little House on the Prairie. |
