Mira Sorvino Tears Up at 90s Con While Recalling How Harvey Weinstein 'Stifled' Her Career

Mira Sorvino spoke about her career's journey while appearing on a 90s Con panel, hosted by PEOPLE Editor-in-Chief Wendy Naugle, alongside Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis

Sorvino, who earned her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1996 for her work in the movie Mighty Aphrodite, added: "For a time, I had a lot of wonderful offers and then, my career was stifled by Harvey Weinstein. Sarandon's movies from that decade include Stepmom(1998), Little Women(1994) and Dead Man Walking(1995), for which she won Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 68th Oscars. Both Davis and Sarandon received Oscar nominations in the Best Actress category for those roles, and the movie was entered into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 2016.
