Over the years, Carla Gugino has gotten used to being called underrated and underused. “Throughout my career, so many people have written that,” she recalls with a smirk. That’s saying something, since she’s been a working actor for more than three decades now. Gugino knew from a very young age—she secured legal emancipation at age 16 to pursue her career—that she would never be a “flash in the pan” kind of star.
“George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon came a little bit later, but these sorts of people who were actually five years my senior that I would be absolutely acting opposite—we had to really fight because people were like, ‘She’s a little bit old for it.’” Hollywood’s sexist norm surely informed that dynamic, too: “The idea of having someone who was even equal in age to the male character was a big deal then,” Gugino says.
