- She has done for "dese, dem and dose" what Laurence
- Olivier did for "Forsooth!" -- or so one would think from the
- raves for Marisa Tomei's star turn in film farce My Cousin Vinny
- as Brooklyn barrister Joe Pesci's car-savvy fiance. Tomei's
- screen-friendly self-confidence belies her brief resume: from
- a walk-on in 1984's The Flamingo Kid to Sly Stallone's daughter
- in last year's Oscar. Coming up: Tomei playing comedian Mabel
- Normand in a Charlie Chaplin biopic. Of her current incarnation
- as the garish Mona Lisa Vito, Tomei says, "I don't think she is
- a bimbo. I think she stands by her man, she loves him . . . and
- she loves her clothes."
