90s rom com star keeps a low profile while bargain hunting in New York City
An actress known for her roles in 1990s romantic comedies kept a low profile as she went shopping in New York City on Thursday. The star, known for her roles in The Truth About Cats & Dogs, and The Matchmaker, this actress has worked in all genres of television and film. The Romy And Michele's High School Reunion actress got her start in stand-up but has proven her ability to make people laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. Janeane Garofalo, 60, adopted a boho look as she wandered the stalls of Soho. The Emmy nominee showcased her toned and tattooed arms wearing a sleeveless gray T-shirt with a pair of mustard colored pants. The Now and Then star wore dark blue Hoka sneakers for her foray into the streets of New York. The Boys Go To Jupiter actress's long, dark hair was styled in natural waves and she appeared to be wearing minimal makeup. The Harley Quin voice actress wore sunglasses with pink lenses as she perused a jewelry stand looking for a small treasure to take home. According to a 2022 article in The New York Times, the funny woman is still performing standup, but as she has not social media, her gigs are sometimes difficult to find. Poking fun at her chosen unruly fashion choices the comic has been known to joke 'I'm not ready for Eileen Fisher,' a clothing brand of loose fitting classic pieces, 'I can't cross that Rubicon.' In an article with Elle magazine in 1996, when an interviewer noted she has lost weight for her role in The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Garofalo, admitted she had. 'Over 25 pounds, and I'm highly ashamed,' she said. 'I want to go on record: I've crossed over to the side of the sellouts.' When answer why, she said, 'I was unhappy with the lack of employment, and I realized that as a woman in this business, there is one way to increase my chances of getting hired.' Continuing, she explained, 'Because, miraculously, you become more talented as you become thinner. It's like this magical thing where the skinnier you get, the more casting directors seem to respond to your talent.' Revisiting the film with the outlet in 2016, the versatile star admitted she wasn't happy about the role as a veterinarian who lies about her appearance. 'For me, personally, being cast as the Cyrano de Bergerac type, who is so unappealing to the eye that one must hide their identity, fed into all my worst fears about myself,' she explained. 'It didn't feel great to be that person. But it is what it is, and it was a huge opportunity for someone like me, who had previously been, for the most part, unknown to a great many people. So in that sense I was grateful; in the other sense, I was embarrassed.'
