Big break
Cathy Moriarty entered a bathing-beauty contest at a bar, won first prize, and an Italian man took her picture. Three weeks later he called, said his name was Joe Pesci, and asked if she would test for a part in a movie about boxer Jake LaMotta.
A role that slipped away
Moriarty was cast in The Two Jakes with Jack Nicholson in 1985, but after one day of shooting the production halted, and by the time the film was released in 1990 she was no longer involved.
Early training
After her early success, Moriarty studied acting and worked to lose her Yonkers accent, saying she went through many interviews, auditions and cattle calls before finding roles that suited her.
