Who is Marisa Tome ?

Question

A man said I look like Marisa Tome. Is this a complement? Or do you think he is g*y, after all he knows who Marisa Tome is.

Answer 1

Tomei, an Italian American,[1][2] was born in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Patricia "Addie," an English teacher, and Gary A. Tomei, a trial lawyer.[3] She has a younger brother, Adam, and was partly raised by her paternal grandparents, Rita and Romeo Tomei.[4] Tomei grew up in Midwood.[5] While there she became captivated by the Broadway shows that her theater-loving parents took her to and became drawn to acting as a career. After graduating from Edward R. Murrow High School, she attended Boston University for a year, then transferred to New York University, in 1983, after landing a role in the soap opera As The World Turns. Soon after, she dropped out of school altogether as her career began to take off.

Answer 2

It's a huge compliment, In my opinion!  Did you ever see "My Cousin Vinny"? Because she was the gf - and star beside Joe Pesci.

Hilarious movie.. She's been in tons of other things, too.. but he's telling you you're a beauty :)

Answer 3

Marisa Tomei was born on December 4, 1964, in Brooklyn, New York to mother Patricia "Addie" Tomei, an English teacher and father Gary Tomei, a lawyer. Marisa also has a brother, actor Adam Tomei. As a child, Marisa's mother frequently corrected her speech as to eliminate her heavy Brooklyn accent. As a teen, Marisa attended Edward R. Murrow High School and graduated in the class of 1982. She was one year into her college education at Boston University when she dropped out for a co-starring role on the CBS daytime drama "As the World Turns" (1956). Her role on that show paved the way for her entrance into film: in 1984, she made her film debut with a bit part in The Flamingo Kid (1984). Three years later, Marisa became known for her role as Maggie Lawton, Lisa Bonet's college roommate, on the sitcom "A Different World" (1987).

Her real breakthrough came in 1992, when she co-starred as Joe Pesci's hilariously foul-mouthed, scene-stealing girlfriend in My Cousin Vinny (1992), a performance that won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Later that year, she turned up briefly as a snippy Mabel Normand in director Richard Attenborough's biopic Chaplin (1992), and was soon given her first starring role in Untamed Heart (1993). A subsequent starring role -- and attempted makeover into Audrey Hepburn -- in the romantic comedy Only You (1994) proved only moderately successful.---
