Mimi Rogers

Mimi Rogers is the statuesque leading lady who rose to stardom as the glamorous love interest in Ridley Scott's Someone to Watch Over Me (1987). Her most prominent roles since then have been as the troubled swinger in The Rapture (1991), the space-age mom in the big screen version of Lost in Space (1998, with William Hurt) and, perhaps most famously, Mrs. Kensington, mother of superspy Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) in the Mike Myers spoof Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). Between acting jobs Rogers has managed to get steady press over the years, partly because of her background in Scientology and past marriage to Tom Cruise (1987-90), and partly because she has proudly exhibited her unclothed body in Hugh Hefner's Playboy magazine (March 1993) and in films such as 2004's The Door in the Floor (with Kim Basinger).

Extra credit: On television, Rogers was Agent Diana Fowley in The X-Files in 1999, and in 2006 she starred in the comedy series The Loop... Like actress Jennifer Tilly, Rogers is a competitive poker player with the World Poker Tour.
