Oscar-Winning Mira Sorvino Insists Mariah Carey Can Act

Oscar-Winning Sorvino Insists Carey Can Act
[International - 16 August 2002]

Mariah Carey's much-maligned acting skills have received the thumbs up from Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino.

The actress stars in the forthcoming mob movie Wisegirls alongside the singer, who was roundly knocked by journalists following her starring role in the box office flop Glitter.

Now Sorvino says critics may have to eat their words after watching the new film. She says, "She's very talented actually. I don't think people have yet given her credit as an actress, but they will when they see this."

Sorvino also pours scorn on suggestions that she failed to get on with her co-star on the set of the David Anspaugh-directed flick. She says, "Mariah was out of town a lot promoting her album. When she was around, we were friendly but there wasn't much time - I was in every scene of the movie." (WENN)
