Actor: Robin Wright

Robin Wright played Buttercup in The Princess Bride at twenty-one, and spent the following decades deliberately moving away from it.

Forrest Gump gives her Jenny, a difficult role the film treats poorly, and she plays it with more sympathy than the writing offers.

House of Cards gave her Claire Underwood and a directing career, and she has since directed features. Wonder Woman gave her Antiope, and she performed substantial fight choreography at fifty.
