| Nina got star making reviews and gave star make performances in Venus... and Born Yesterday. She was due to become a star. That hasn't happened. She's not getting starring roles and her last Bway show was, as you said, 2 years ago. It's hard to have a steady career on Bway yes but where are the big film and TV roles? I'd consider her career a disappointment at this time. | |

| I'm sure she appreciates people judging her career as a disappointment. She has two movies in post-production. One is an animated feature (The Adventures of Drunky, starring Sam Rockwell) in which she is voicing a character. The other is Stan and Ollie, about Laurel and Hardy, starring John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan. She plays Ida Kitaeva Laurel, Stan Laurel's wife. |

| How often does that really happen? An actor becomes a big star after one or two splashy theater appearances? Unless we count Lin-Manuel Miranda, who's a special case as writer-performer, the last one I can remember is Mark Ruffalo from This Is Our Youth 20 years ago. Her next film project looks...indie, I guess, but it looks like it might be a good role, and I for one can't wait to see more of John C. Reilly in this get-up! |

| It doesn't often happen but it looked like it would happen for her and didn't. | |

| She was due to become a star. Arianda was superb in Venus in Fur and very deservedly won a Tony award. However, the commercial transfer of Venus in Fur did not recoup and neither did the revival of Born Yesterday. Unfortunately in the world of commercial Broadway, it is unreasonable to expect that playing the lead in 2 plays that lost money will lead to stardom despite a Tony award and great reviews. I'm sure that Arianda will continue to get work in film, TV, and theatre, because she is a fine actress. |

| And when they don't, do people really blame the actors? | |

| No. Although I believe some that are well received and get staged a lot in regional theatre, most likely at some point are considered profitable. | |

| I agree that none of her television nor film appearances have been very high profile in either popularity nor artistic success. She is still very young though and very talented and I think we shall be hearing much more from her in the future. She just needs one high profile success in movies or television. | |
