Maria Pitillo Career

Career

Pitillo was living in suburban New Jersey and working as a department store clerk when a friend invited her to audition for a television commercial. Pepto Bismol's first job was as an advertisement. An advertisement for Bank of Boston, York Peppermint Pattie, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Chic Jeans were among others' subpoenas. Pitillo appeared on ABC's Hope in the fall of 1987, a period of sadness until the show's conclusion in 1989.

Pitillo later stated that she did not consider acting as a serious career option until after Chaplin (1992).

Pitillo's work before moving to Hollywood consisted mainly of television drama (South of Sunset), small parts in theatrical motion pictures, and occasional appearances in several Made-for-TV movies. She has been lauded for her appearances in the following: The Teresa Stamper Story, Middle Ages, Escape from Terror: The Teresa Stamper Story, as well as Between Love and Honor. Pitillo made his mark in 1995 with the FOX sitcom Partners. Alicia Sondergard, the comedy's co-stars Jon Cryer, and Tate Donovan were all successful, as well as co-star Stephen Cryer and Tate Donovan. Partners were struggling to gain traction with audiences, but they were canceled in 1996.

Pitillo was contacted by NBC President Warren Littlefield, who had been alert of her appearance in Partners, after completing Dear God in the summer of 1996. Littlefield later signed her to a network expansion contract.

NBC attempted to leverage Pitillo, as well as director James Burrows, with a program called Nearly Yours, which actress Parker Posey had dropped out of. DreamWorks and NBC were unable to reach an agreement, and the contract was terminated. The squabble between NBC and DreamWorks left the network with a programming hole, and Pitillo without a television project for the remainder of 1997. She returned to work in 1997 and Godzilla (May 1997), but it wasn't until filming began on Something To Believe In (1997) and Godzilla (May 1997) that she returned to work. NBC continued to look for a good television show for Pitillo, and Littlefield's suggestion developed the sitcom House Rules, which premiered in March 1998 as a mid-season replacement.

In the TriStar Pictures film Godzilla, which opened in theaters on May 20, 1998, Pitillo played Audrey Timmonds. Fans and critics alike skewered the film and Pitillo's performance: both supporters and critics alik

Godzilla was nominated in several categories for Razzie awards, and Pitillo won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress in 1999. Pitillo has said a few times about her participation in Godzilla: She's said she's never talked about her appearance in Godzill

Pitillo, Matthew Broderick, and Jean Reno were all under contract for a total of three Godzilla films. The first installment, which earned $379 million during its theatrical run, has been adamant that a sequel would be considered. Tri Star Pictures, the franchise's parent company, had contacted Centropolis, who had arranged pre-production work on a sequel to be named Godzilla 2. In the end, there was no motivation to move forward, and the franchise's rights were allowed to expire.

Pitillo had appeared in the Indie film Dirk & Betty, the comedy-drama, After Sex, and appeared on numerous television shows by 2000. Richard Thomas and Beau Bridges appeared in The Christmas Secret, Richard Thomas' made-for-TV film. It first aired on CBS and then aired on ABC Family Network as part of their 25 Days of Christmas. Tina Calcatera, a divorced mother and love interest of Robbie, was a recurring presence on Providence (2001-2002), a role that lasted until the show ended in 2002.
