Early life and family

Arquette was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1968 to Lewis Arquette, an actor, and Brenda Olivia "Mardi" (née Nowak), who was active in the arts and worked as a therapist. Patricia is distantly related to explorer Meriwether Lewis through her father. The father of Arquette had shifted from Catholicism to Islam. Arquette's mother was Jewish, and her ancestors immigrated from Poland and Russia. The surname of her father's family was originally "Arcouet," and his paternal line was of French-Canadian descent. Cliff Arquette, her paternal grandfather, was a comedian. Patricia's siblings were also actors: Rosanna, Richmond, Alexis, and David. When she was a child, her parents begged to have braces for her teeth; but she refused, telling them that having flaws would help her with her character.

Her family lived on a farm in rural Bentonville, Virginia, for a time. They became poorer the longer they lived there, according to her, and the experience encouraged her empathy. Her father was an alcoholic, and her mother was allegedly violent. The family moved to Chicago when Arquette was seven years old. They eventually settled in Los Angeles, California. Arquette attended Catholic school and has said that she aspired to be a nun as a youth. Arquette, a teenager, ran away from home after learning her father was having an affair—she and her sister, Rosanna Arquette, settled in Los Angeles. She has referred to her father as a working actor for industrial films, commercials, and voiceovers. Pickett appears in The Waltons, a television series. Arquette had aspired to be a midwife before embarking on acting. She put this career goal aside for a brief period of time in an effort to find acting jobs and finding success in the industry.

Personal life

Arquette began dating Paul Rossi, a singer, at the age of 20. They had a son together, Enzo Rossi, who was born on January 3, 1989. Arquette married Nicolas Cage in April 1995 (with whom she co-starred in Bringing Out the Dead in 1999). They separated after nine months, but they continued to act as a couple in public until Cage filed for divorce in February 2000. She briefly dated Mark Rogowski.

In 2002, Arquette and actor Thomas Jane married. Harlow Olivia Calliope Jane was born on February 20, 2003. In Venice, Italy, Arquette and Jane married on June 25, 2006. Arquette filed for divorce from Jane in January 2009 on the grounds of irreconcilable inconsistencies, but the couple soon reconciled. On July 9, 2009, Arquette filed a divorce petition. Arquette and Jane had decided against a divorce due to "irrpilable inconsistencies," Jane's representative said on August 13, 2010. The divorce was finalized on July 1, 2011, and the two parents decided to share custody of their child.

Career

Retired teenager Stacy in the television film Daddy, boarding school student Zero in Pretty Smart, and Kristen Parker in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors starred Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson in 1987. In the music video to Dokken's Dream Warriors (1987), Kristen reprised her role as Kristen. She was asked to reprise her role in Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), but she turned down the opportunity in order to work on other projects. Tralala played in Last Exit to Brooklyn due to her pregnancy with her son Enzo.

In 1988, Arquette played Tess Harper in Far North's Far North. Her appearances in the early 1990s were in low budget and independent films, including Prayer of the Rollerboys (1990) as the love interest of Corey Haim's character, The Indian Runner (1991), Sean Penn's directorial debut, and The Monkey Zetterland. In 1992, she received the CableACE Award for Best Lead Actress in a Mini-Series for her portrayal of a deaf girl with epilepsy in Wildflower, directed by Diane Keaton and also starring Reese Witherspoon.

Arquette received the most praised for her work as Alabama Whitman, a free-spirited, kind-hearted prostitute in Tony Scott's True Romance (1993). The film was a moderately popular box office success but it became a cultural landmark thanks to Quentin Tarantino's screenplay, which predated Pulp Fiction, but some commentators were concerned by the graphic violence. Arquette leads a violent physical confrontation in a fight against James Gandolfini (as a viciously sadistic killer) in which her character ultimately wins. Critics lauded Arquette's performance. Arquette's "surprising sweetness" was praised by Janet Maslin of The New York Times, while Peter Travers wrote, "Arquette delivers sensationally." The film, according to TV Guide, incorporates and recycles elements from Bonnie and Clyde's "love on the run" film Badlands (1973). True Romance received a favourable review for having "enough energy and verve to produce something completely new and infectiously amusing." Richard Corliss of Time Magazine made related remarks and likened the film to Bonnie and Clyde's earlier, seminal Bonnie and Clyde.

Arquette appeared in the television film Betrayed by Love (1994), as well as the well-received biopic Ed Wood starring Johnny Depp, where she played his mother. Laura Bowman's Beyond Rangoon (1995), although mixed critical reviews were given, was a success globally. It was the official selection at the Cannes Film Festival in France, where it became one of the festival's most popular hits. Despite poor reviews, Arquette's appearance as an American tourist in Burma during the 8888 Uprising was considered one of the work's best points. "Arquette gives the kind of mighty physical appearance typically found in existential action thrillers such as "The Wages of Fear," Michael Sragow wrote for The New Yorker, but she suffuses it with something all her own - she's bulletproof yet vulnerable." The Washington Post's Hal Hinson said the film was "odd, brilliant in some regions, but ultimately dissatisfied," adding that "Arquette shows true grit when the chips are down."

In 1996, Arquette appeared in three films, the first the comedy film Flirting with Disaster (1996) about a young man's cross-country quest to find his parents. The critical reception was mostly positive, with Variety's Todd McCarthy praising the film and Arquette's appearance, while Arquette's performance was highlighted as "Arquette [is] very believably distracted and infuriated." In the Uncertain Regard section of the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, Flirting with Disaster grossed $14 million at the American box office and was shown at the Uncertain Regard section. That year, Joseph Conrad's 1907 novel of the same name was her second film released. The film received average feedback. Infinity was her third film of the year, a biographical drama about American physicist Richard Feynman's early life. The film received mixed to critical feedback. Although Variety's Emmanuel Levy said Arquette was "miscast," he said she "registers more strongly in the first half of the film, when she plays an adolescent."

Arquette appeared in David Lynch's neo-noir psychological thriller Lost Highway in 1997, portraying Renee Madison and Alice Wakefield in different roles. The film had an ambiguous plot, which divided audiences and received a largely critical opinion, but it also spawned a strong following. In a critically revered role in which she was able to focus more on her sexuality than in any other role, Arquette played an elusive femme fatale. Roger Ebert, a Chicago Sun-Times reporter, disliked the film, saying there was "no reason to be made of it" and expressed his displeasure with a scene in which Arquette's character is asked to disrobe at gunpoint. Other commentators were more favourable: Duncan Sragow of the Dallas Times called it a "compelling erotic nightmare" and Edward Guthman of the San Francisco Gate praised Arquette's performance, criticizing her double role to Kim Novak's in Vertigo (1958). Arquette appeared in Nightwatch, a horror-thriller film directed by Ole Bornedal, the same year. The film is a remake of the Danish film Nattevaggen (1994), which was also directed by Bornedal. Nightwatch was not a box office hit, and critics were dismissive of it, many of whom thought it was an unnecessary, inferior retelling of the original film.

Arquette appeared in two films: Goodbye Lover, a comedic neo-noir directed by Roland Joffé and The Hi-Lo Country, a period Western directed by Stephen Frears, appeared in 1998. The former received a cold reception, but the latter received a more appreciative but modest response. In the press, the Hi-Lo Country was often portrayed as a "classic Western." "In the best scenes of the film, it seems to be an epic mashup of Red River and The Last Picture Show," Stephen Holden of The New York Times said. In 1999, Arquette returned to familiar territory with the genre that began her career, in the lead role on Stigmata, a horror film. The film, which was made on a budget of $29 million, was a box office hit, grossing $50,046,268. The film's worldwide gross sales of $89,446,268 was $39,400.268. Critics were not as empathetic of the film as audiences, with Roger Ebert remarking that "possibly the best movie ever made about Catholicism" from a theological standpoint. Arquette also appeared in Martin Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead, based on Joe Connelly's book. The film reunited her with then-husband Nicolas Cage and received high critical praise, but it was a box office flop. "Arquette's quietly convincing appearance aids center Frank Frank's life," Janet Maslin of The New York Times said; one of the film's most realistic scenes is one in which they share an ambulance ride without sharing a word.

Margaret Sandler appeared in Little Nicky, a light-hearted comedy, in 2000. Despite being a box office success, the film received critical feedback, but Roger Ebert called it Sandler's best film to date. She appeared in Human Nature (2001), a French-American comedy drama written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry, after this. Mixed reviews followed the film's acceptance at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, which left it out of contention. In a three-star (out of a potential four-star) review, Roger Ebert lauded the film's "crewball charm." She appeared in the small-scale mystery film The Badge in 2004, portraying the widowed widow of a murdered transsexual woman. In 2003, she portrayed Linda Lovelace, a notorious pornographic film actress, in the little known Deeper Than Deep film series that was followed by the more family-orientated Disney film film as Kissin' Kate Barlow. Holes made $16,300,155 in its first weekend, the second highest grossing in the box office based on Louis Sachar's 1998 book of the same name. The film will gross at $67,406,173 and an additional $4 million in international sales, totaling $71,406,573 at the box office against a $20 million budget, making the film a modest financial success. Despite a screening at the Sundance Film Festival, Arquette's next film, Tiptoes, was released in the United States straight-to-DVD in the United States.

Arquette did not appear in another film until 2006's Fast Food Country, directed by Richard Linklater, at the humdrum reception of Tiptoes. During the three years she was mainly working on Boyhood; it was published eight years later in July 2014. Fast Food Nation is her second collaboration with Linklater; it is based on Eric Schlosser's best-selling 2001 non-fiction book of the same name. Fast Food Nation was not praised in any way by critical critics. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers said, "It's less an exploration of junk-food culture than a human drama." "It's less an exploration of junk-food culture than a human drama." The film is brimming with grand visions but trips on some of them aren't given enough screen time to register, and some characters aren't able to register, and others vanish just as you want to know more about them." "It's a mirror and a portrait, and a film as useful and nourishing as your next meal," A. O. Scott of The New York Times said.

Arquette made her first television appearance in January 2005 with NBC's Medium. Allison DuBois, who was a fictional version of) psychic medium, received the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in 2005, 2006, and 2007, as well as nominations for a Golden Globe in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2007, as well as an Emmy Award in 2007. In 2009, NBC cancelled Medium, but CBS picked the show up and it lasted another two seasons. She appeared on A Single Woman in 2008, which was panned. She did not appear in another film until 2012. Girl in Progress, a drama produced by Patricia Riggen, marked her return; it received critical feedback. Sally Wheet, a 13-year-old actress, returned to television in 2013 as Sally Wheet, as Sally Wheet. Also in 2013, Arquette filmed Electric Slide, a true crime drama.

Boyhood, a program that Arquette and other actors had shot for 12 years beginning in 2002, was released in 2014. Richard Linklater directed the film, marking his second collaboration with Arquette. Olivia Evans plays Olivia Evans, a single mother who raises her two children mainly alone with the occasional help of their father (played by Ethan Hawke). The epic has a 12-year anniversary. Mason's uncle, her character's son, is the subject of the film's evolution from age 8 to 18. The film has received universal praise, with several commentators referring to it as a "landmark film." Arquette's reputation has received acclaim for her work. "The job gave [Arquette] space to be all of these tumultuous things at once," writes Katie McDonahugh of Salon, "and her appearance was a raw, brave reflection on those fundamentally human contradictions." Arquette's performance was "stunning" and she praised the film, according to Margaret Pomeranz, a writer for ABC Australia, "the transition from one time to another is subtle and seamless." It's just a fantastic movie experience." Arquette received the Academy Award, BAFTA, Critics' Choice, Golden Globe, Independent Spirit, and the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Arquette began acting in the CBS film CSI: Cyber, which explores FBI agents who fight Internet-based crimes in early 2015. CBS cancelled the series after two seasons on May 12, 2016, effectively ending the CSI franchise.

In the Ben Stiller-directed Showtime miniseries Escape at Dannemora, which premiered on November 18, 2018, Arquette portrayed Tilly Mitchell. She gained weight, wore prosthetic teeth, and brown contact lenses for the role. She received critical acclaim and was named winner of the SAG Award, Critics' Choice Television Award, and the Golden Globe Award for her appearance. She has also been nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Film.

In 2018, it was revealed that Arquette would be playing in the Hulu series The Act. The series debuted in March 2019 to critical acclaim. Arquette was given the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Film for her appearance.
