Award winning actress Catherine Keener received recognition for her portrayal of John Cusack's crafty, sexy object of love in Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich (1999). Keener's spectacular performance garnered her with a New York Film Critics Circle, Online Film Critics Society, Golden Satellite and Florida Film Critics Circle awards for Best Supporting Actress in 1999. Additionally, the brittle, bitchy character brought her an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination in the following year. A huge fan of Rebecca Miller, Keener also gained notice for playing the role of a repetitive loser in love in Nicole Holofcener's Walking and Talking (1996), in which she earned a nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards. The American actress is also well remembered for playing roles in such movies as Johnny Suede (1991), Box Of Moonlight (1996), The Real Blonde (1997), 8MM (1999), Simpatico (1999) and Lovely and Amazing (2001).
Off screen, Keener, the wife of Dermot Mulroney, reportedly has a crisis in her 14-year marriage that has instigated a separation. However, the couple won't comment on the rumor. The green-eyed beauty also gained headlines for being romantically linked with Johnny Suede costar Brad Pitt just months after Pitt's split with former wife Jennifer Aniston. Keener and Pitt reportedly often hit the town together, enjoying everything from cocktails at an out-of-the-way watering hole to high-profile entertainment industry events like the March 8, Los Angeles premiere of Catherine's recent film, The Ballad of Jack and Rose. The two were also seen enjoying each other's company at a birthday party for Sean Penn.
