Rosie Perez

. In 2003, she took on the major role of playing Julie McNamara in the controversial television drama Nip/Tuck based on the lives of plastic surgeons. Perez is currently on Broadway in Craig Lucas's Reckless alongside Mary-Louise Parker. Richardson expressed sympathy with Marie-Antoinette's undeserved fate, something which she tried to convey in the film. However, it was a critical failure: "an endless illustrated Harlequin paperback of mawkish backstory and corset-popping purple prose", according to Jessica Winter in the Village Voice, though Richardson's performance was listed among the "incidental pleasures" of the film by Roger Ebert and described as a "sly, commanding performance that reflects a marvelous understanding of this notorious character" by Salon.com. She is also recognizeable for her nasal voice. This was a lavish costume drama based on a scandal in the final days of the French monarchy, when Marie-Antoinette's reputation was trashed by a confidence trickster, who absconded with a lavish diamond necklace which she had purchased using the Queen's name but without her knowledge. She was married to filmmaker Seth Zvi Rosenfeld. Thus, she secured the role of that queen in the 2001 film The Affair of the Necklace.

She started her career as a dancer on Soul Train and has choreographed dances for music videos by Bobby Brown, Diana Ross, LL Cool J and The Boys. Later that year she was modelling on a necklace, when director Charles Shyer noticed her resemblance to doomed 18th-century royal Marie Antoinette.
