Career

She won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in 2005 for her role as the psychic Allison DuBois on NBC's Medium.
Bringinmuch of the same vulnerability to the big screen, Arquette was cast as the tender girlfriend of Viggo Mortensen in Sean Penn's directorial debut "The Indian Runner" (1991). She also earned critically praise for her portrayal of Mattie Silver, the life force in the otherwise bleak, wintry tale of "Ethan Frome" (1993). Later that year, she gave a breakout performance alongside heavy-hitters Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper in the Quentin Tarantino-scripted "True Romance". Tim Burton tapped her as the tolerant wife of eccentric filmmaker "Ed Wood" (1994) and Arquette displayed a compelling presence as an American doctor caught up in the political turmoil of Burma in "Beyond Rangoon" (1995). Switching to lighter fare, she was the moody spouse of an adopted man seeking his birth parents in "Flirting With Disaster" (1996). While she earned some praise from reviewers for her dual turn as the murdered wife of a jazz musician and a bottle blonde femme fatale in David Lynch's "Lost Highway" (1997), most dismissed the film as confusing and pretentious. Arquette undertook a similar type of role as the unhappily married wife of a ranch hand who embarks on an affair with a rival cattle rancher in "The Hi-Lo Country" (1998). Next Arquette starred in the horror film "Stigmata" (1999) and opposite her ex-husband Nicolas Cage in the Martin Scorsese film "Bringing Out the Dead" (1999).
