Sophia Coppola has the distinction of appearing in all three GODFATHER films, but it is in THE GODFATHER PART III (1990) that is most memorable. Unfortunately for her. Here she plays Michael Corleone’s daughter Mary a significant role for which she was cast by her father after Winona Ryder fell ill and had to drop out of the film. Her critically panned performance (for which she received the award of “Worst New Star” in the 1990 Golden Raspberry Awards) effectively ended her acting career. She has since become a successful director, most memorable for LOST IN TRANSLATION.
