For years, this actress has delivered award-winning performances on screen, earning recognition and icon status in Hollywood.

Yet her early life was anything but glamorous.

Her biological father abandoned her before she was even born, and at 15, she was raped in her own home by a man who claimed he had paid her mother $500.

Kidnapped by her stepfather

Born in 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico, this Hollywood icon was the child of a brief union between her teen mother, Virginia, and an Air Force airman, Charles Harmon Sr. Her father deserted her then-18-year-old mother after a two-month marriage, long before she was born.

Instead, when the actress was just three months old, her mother married a newspaper advertising salesman.

Because her stepfather often switched jobs, the family relocated frequently.

”I was desperate for a sense of belonging so I adopted different characters wherever I went,” she once reflected.
