It's no surprise that Bracco didn't land many roles during this time. Marrying a controversial figure like Olmos with a checkered past tarnished her reputation. Directors were simply wary of working with her while she was in the midst of so much legal drama. Yes, this all happened back in the s, but it was hard for her to put that scandal behind her. Every actor puts out a dud once in a while. It's basically unavoidable. Unfortunately, even one bad film can be a setback. If an actor scores a role in a better movie afterwards and gets back on track, it might not matter much, but if they appear in a string of box office bombs, it's not going to bode well for their career in the long run.
There were rumors that Bracco was basically on some sort of "blacklist" because of her problems with Keitel, but none of that gossip was backed up by any evidence. It's much more likely that directors just weren't seeing evidence she could keep any real momentum going in her career. Hiring her was a gamble—would she turn in another Oscar-worthy performance, or would she drag the production down?
With Bracco, it was impossible to predict. Several years ago, Bracco opened up about her struggles with depression. She acknowledges that her mental health made it difficult for her to just get through the day sometimes. Celebrities certainly aren't immune to mental health conditions, and life in the spotlight can definitely exacerbate issues like depression and anxiety.
I'm not afraid to talk about it. It made me stronger, it made me a better person. Yes, many creative people deal with depression or anxiety at some point, and the pressures of fame only seem to compound that. But it's a myth that artists produce their best work when their perspective is clouded by depression.
If anything, it just makes it harder to be reliable and have the energy to put your best effort in each day. Bracco also has dyslexia, which certainly doesn't make things any easier. She says that going to therapy and getting on medication was one of the best choices she's ever made. It's not enough for an actor to be talented.
Their behavior on set is nearly as important. No matter how skilled someone is, raw talent can't make up for a bad attitude. Eventually, no one will want to put up with it.
After all, there are plenty of hard-working people in the industry who are always looking for their big breaks, so unless you're a once-in-a-generation talent, no director wants to deal with a diva for too long.
