Mimi Rogers Fascination! For three years, Mimi Rogers was married to Tom Cruise. She does not consider that period, from 1987 to 1990, the highlight of her life nor the defining moment of her career. "Being married to Tom Cruise didn't hurt my career but it certainly didn't help it," explains Rogers reluctantly. She's so obviously tired of being asked the Cruise questions but obliges by saying that, "in Hollywood, people don't hire you because you're married to a famous person. Sometimes it is the exact opposite." She will not discuss Cruise and responds to such inquiries by feigning a snore or rolling her eyes in mock disbelief that any one should care after all these years. Yet Rogers, 42, admits her career might actually have suffered from her marriage to Cruise. "I was trying to make the marriage work so I made it a greater priority than my career," explains Rogers who was married to Scientology counsellor Jim Rogers from 1977 to 1980. "If I had focused more on my career maybe things would have gone faster for me." |
