Early life and education
Aquino was born in Teaneck, New Jersey. She appeared in junior high school productions for the first time. She was pre-med at Harvard University majoring in biology. When working at a law firm, she discovered she was spending more time acting than learning, and so she was forced to visit New York to take acting lessons. She lived in Minneapolis for three years without landing any acting jobs before being sent on a trip to Minneapolis, where she first appeared on a recommendation. She attended Yale University School of Drama in 1986, where she spent three years.
Personal life
After heading to California, Aquino met Drew McCoy. They were married at the Roman Catholic Church in St Malachy, Manhattan, in 1995. They purchased the Villa Royale, an inn in Palm Springs, California, which they renovated over a two-year period.

Aquino spent the next five years based in New York after Yale. When she was there, she worked with Kevin Spacey at Playwrights Horizons and joined the Circle Repertory Company. She appeared in Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles, which received the Tony Award for Best Play in 1989. Aquino appeared in both Moonstruck (as Loretta's hairdresser) and Working Girl (as Melanie Griffith's secretary at the end of the film) earlier this year, and her first film roles.
She appeared in the CBS series Brooklyn Bridge as one of the leads in 1991. Aquino moved to California to be closer to where the show was being shot after it was renewed for a second season. Since moving, she has primarily been involved in television roles, including ER and Everybody Loves Raymond.
Aquino was nominated for a Screen Actor's Guild Award in 1995 for portraying Dr. Joanna "Joey" Diamond in Picket Fences.
In 2005, she appeared in another play of Wasserstein's, Third, at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts off-Broadway. In Jonathan Tolins' Secrets of the Trade, Aquino appeared off-Broadway at the 59E59 Theaters.
In 2013, Aquino was cast as the witch Donna in season 2 of Being Human. Aquino was cast in ABC Television's Divorce: A Love Story later this year, but the actor was recast when the producers decided that she was too young to play Jason Jones, who was portrayed by an actor 16 years younger than she. In The Lazarus Effect (2015), Aquino co-starring Sarah Bolger, Mark Duplass, and Olivia Wilde co-starred David Hamilton.
Lieutenant Grace Billets, the commanding officer of Los Angeles' police department, is the protagonist of Aquino's television series Bosch. On February 13, 2020, the series was revived for its seventh and final season.
