Career

1990–1999: Early work and theatre debut

Davis made her debut as a dramatic actress in the Joel Schumacher directed psychological horror film Flatliners (1990), starring as William Baldwin's fiancée. [4] That same year she appeared in the hit family film Home Alone (1990) in a small role as a Parisian airport receptionist. [5] Her major stage debut came after she starred in the Wisdom Bridge/Remains Theater co-production of David Mamet's play Speed-the-Plow for Joel Schumacher with William Petersen in Chicago in 1992. [6] That same year she made her Broadway debut in Two Shakespearean Actors (1992) at the Cort Theatre. In 1995 she had her first starring role as Eliza Malone D'Amico in the Greg Mottola directed independent comedy-drama The Daytrippers acting opposite Liev Schreiber, Parker Posey, Anne Meara and Stanley Tucci. Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote, "Ms. Meara, who plays her role like an old pro, and Ms. Davis, who has the makings of a young one, are part of a cast that easily makes the film worth seeing". [7] In 1997 she returned to Broadway debut playing Sasha in the Anton Chekov play Ivanov at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center. Davis acted alongside Kevin Kline, Jayne Atkinson, Tom McGowan, and Marian Seldes. [8]

The following year she starred in independent romantic comedy film Next Stop Wonderland (1998) directed by Brad Anderson. Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote of the film, "[It] isn't really much more than a beautifully acted, finely edited sitcom, but it creates and sustains an intelligent, seriocomic mood better than any recent film about the urban single life. If the movie at moments recalls As Good as It Gets , its characters are subtler and its vision of humanity more truthful." [9] That same year she had a supporting role in the comedy The Impostors (1998) starring Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci. [10] These led her to roles in Hollywood films such as the thriller Arlington Road (1999).

This was a segment of the sound-only production Theater of the New Ear, which debuted at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY. The title actually refers to Davis's character "leaving the theater". [16] In 2005 she took supporting roles in the black comedy The Matador , the John Madden directed drama Proof , and the Gore Verbinski comedy-drama The Weather Man .

Her son works for the FBI/CIA, and Katya's family is brought back into action by the SVR in hopes that Alex, her son, can be swayed to join the SVR. [26] In 2015, she was approached by Marvel to play Maria Stark, mother of Tony Stark in Captain America: Civil War .
