Mary Masterson
Mary Stuart Masterson, the daughter of actress Carlin Glynn
and screenwriter, director, and actor Peter Masterson, made her film
debut in The Stepford Wives (1975) with her father. She gained
the attention of teen audiences during the 1980s in tomboy roles,
most notably opposite Eric Stoltz in Some Kind of Wonderful,
but moved on to more grown-up fare as Idgie Threadgoode in Fried
Green Tomatoes and as the disturbed Joon in Benny & Joon
with Johnny Depp. In 2000, Ms. Masterson released Grapefruit
Moon, a film she wrote and directed, and in 2001, she starred
in television series, “Kate Brasher.” At the age of 15, the young
actress appeared on Broadway in Eva Le Gallienne's version of Alice
In Wonderland—playing two parts, the Four of Hearts and
the Small White Rabbit.
