MIRA SORVINO : LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE

It’s been a tough year for Mira Sorvino, but we’re pleased to see the Oscar winner working again and looking happy with her husband Chris Backus. Her acting career was irrevocably damaged by Harvey Weinstein when he blackballed her in Hollywood for not being “cooperative” sexually. In 2004 she married 14 years younger actor/screenwriter Chris, and they now have two boys and two girls. Mira and Chris costarred in the movie Drowning and they appeared together at the premier at the Rome Film Festival.

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE MIRA SORVINO

Always one of our favorite actresses, Mira Sorvino was one of the early and brave women who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual improprieties. Mira won a Best Supporting Oscar for her ditzy character in Woody Allen’s Mighty Aphrodite, but few people realize she is actually very intelligent and educated. She graduated with honors from Harvard and has a degree in East Asian studies. We were so happy for her and Ashley Judd when Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson came out and admitted that Weinstein had said the actresses were “a nightmare to work with” and advised him not to hire them, thus blacklisting them and derailing their careers. Happy ending: While Mira’s acting career waned, she married her dream man and had four children, and now she’s back at work.

We’ve been fans of Mira Sorvino ever since “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” so it was nice to see her turn up at the premier of “Shutter Island” in New York. Despite all odds, she and her younger husband, actor Chris Backus, have been successfully married for six years and have two children. They look close in age, but Mira is 42 and Chris is 28 – around the same age difference as Simon Cowell and his fiancee.

Mira Sorvino and her gorgeous family enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in Soho. Mira’s daughter Mattea is four and her son Johnny is two. Mira met her actor husband Christopher Backus when he waited on her at the Sur restaurant in West Hollywood, and they’ve been successfully married for four years now. We LOVED her in ” Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.”

Mira Sorvino: Diet Tip

Mira Sorvino had this diet tip from 2004:
Now that she’s gotten rid of her boyfriend Olivier Martinez, Mira Sorvino has also gotten rid of around 25 unwanted pounds. The leggy actress told pals she’s given up the pasta and French food that she used to indulge in with Oliver while they lived in Europe. Now she’s sticking with sushi and credits raw fish for her weight loss. Only her diet doesn’t come cheap, because she regularly devours her sushi at the exclusive Nobu in Malibu.
