For Sorvino and Basinger, the problem seems to be that they simply chose to star in bad films. After success in Mighty Aphrodite, Sorvino moved on to the dumb horror flick Mimic, dumb action flick The Replacement Killers, dumb comedy Romy & Michelles High School Reunion, dumb sex film Tales of Erotica, and a prominent role in the very dumb box-office bomb Gods & Generals, the worst film of 2003. On the positive side2000 are stints in the critically divisive Summer of Sam and The Grey Zone.
Basinger made mistake after mistake after L.A. Confidential that allowed her post-Oscar hotness cool to ice. First, she waited three years to make another movie. When she did, it was I Dreamed of Africa, which could have been retitled I Dream Of Getting Out Of This Theater. The boring supernatural thriller Bless the Child followed, a pathetic next try at a comeback that made fellow supporting-actress winner Whoopi Goldbergs center-square spot on Hollywood Squaresseem like Shakespeare. -

the main problem with her career is she got famous at such an old age. she was kind of old when mighty aphrodite came out. i remember thinking she looks kind of old in this and that was the first time i had ever seen her, in 1995.
99% of the time when an actress starts out she looks very young, no aging on her face but with her she looked kind of old like 30 years old in ma so this is why her career didn't last that long bc by just 10 years later she looked very old.
