• Name: Mimi Rogers
  • Date of Birth: January 27, 1956
  • Place of Birth: Coral Gables, Florida, USA
Mini-bio: It's fair to say that after 20 years and over 50 film appearances, Mimi Rogers
should be praised for her variety of roles and acting capabilities, not for a brief
marriage to a Hollywood star. In th...( read more)e early 1980s, she began to carve a niche for
herself in Hollywood, appearing on television and in films. It was her role in
Someone to Watch Over Me (1987) that got her noticed and was her springboard to
stardom. Cemented by a marriage to Tom Cruise, an already established young actor,
Mimi went on to appear in Hider in the House (1989), Desperate Hours (1990), and
The Doors (1991). After her marriage to Cruise ended in 1990, she appeared in a
controversial movie analyzing religion in America. The Rapture (1991), directed by
Michael Tolkin, proved a hit and delighted audiences, creating many a debate over
the film's subject material. She played a bored telephone exchange operator who
swaps a sinful life of sex and swinging with other couples for a devout religious
one, ending unexpectedly in disaster. A subsequent photo spread and interview in
Playboy magazine in 1993 provided fans with an insight into her life with Cruise
and her film career so far. Despite her successes, few meaty, interesting roles
came her way in the '90s. Shooting Elizabeth (1992), opposite Jeff Goldblum, the
family movie Monkey Trouble (1994), Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog
(1995), and Full Body Massage (1995) (TV) were just a few of the films that she
appeared in. Working consistently, she rejuvenated her career in the unexpected hit
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), playing Miss Kensington, an
attractive female agent of 1960s London and the mother of Elizabeth Hurley's
character. Next, Mimi was seen in the big-screen remake of the '60s sci-fi TV
series Lost in Space (1998) and several guest appearances on the hugely popular
television series "The X Files" (1993), playing a scheming FBI agent. A role in the
Canadian indie-horror Ginger Snaps (2000) did her career no harm. Soon, she was
opposite Geena Davis in "The Geena Davis Show" (2000) from 2000-01 and playing an
extremely rich Manhattan socialite in the direct-to-video Cruel Intentions 2 (2000)
(V).

More recently Mimi has appeared on cable television, including leading roles in
Charms for the Easy Life (2002) (TV) (which she also executive produced) and Cave In
(2003) (TV) (a true-life disaster drama in which she played the Chief Superintendent
of a mine). In 2004, she gave a revealing performance in The Door in the Floor
(2004), a critical success. "The Loop" (2006), a Chicago-based sitcom, will soon be
airing in America, featuring Mimi as a flirtatious office worker. Also in 2006, Mimi
will be appearing in an original horror film, Penny Dreadful (2006), playing a
psychiatrist in peril. In 2003, she married her longtime partner Chris Ciaffa, with
whom she had a daughter in 1995. A poker novice, Mimi also travels around competing
in tournaments, some televised. A lengthy filmography and critically praised acting
reveal that there is far more to Mimi Rogers than a celebrity marriage. At the age
of fifty, she is still one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood, and looking as
good as ever.
