1983 saw Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay star together in Risky Business, a critically and commercially celebrated coming-of-age comedy that was hailed as the next The Graduate. It's been over four decades since De Mornay electrified the big screen and today she is 64 and still as radiant as ever. De Mornay had an agent by the time she was just 16, starting off her career in music with her songs sold to German rock and roll artists before De Mornay studied acting stateside. Her film debut came in Francis Ford Coppola's 1981 film One from the Heart and just two years later came the movie that made her a star, Risky Business, opposite Cruise.

Today and yesterday are both full of surprises RISKY BUSINESS, Rebecca De Mornay, 1983, © Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection Following its release on August 5, 1983, Risky Business went on to become a universally-acclaimed success. It earned $4,275,327 on its opening weekend and ultimately grossed $63.5 million domestically. The New York Times praised its abundance of style while Roger Ebert praised it as "one of the smartest, funniest, most perceptive satires in a long time," adding, "This is one of those movies where a few words or a single line says everything that needs to be said, implies everything that needs to be implied, and gets a laugh." She has stayed very busy over the years / Paul Smith / Featureflash No one was surprised by the film's success quite as much as the cast and crew, including De Mornay; she anticipated success for the movie but none of its cultural staying power.
