Despite earning an Oscar early in her career, Tomei initially struggled to secure roles that matched her talent. Films such as Untamed Heart did not meet critical or commercial expectations. However, she gradually regained critical acclaim through a series of dramatic roles that showcased her depth as an actress.
In the 2001 drama In the Bedroom, Tomei portrayed a grieving mother, earning her a second Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She also played silent film star Mabel Normand in Chaplin, appeared in the firefighter-based series Rescue Me, and starred in the comedy The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud.
Her role in Darren Aronofsky’s 2008 film The Wrestler, alongside Mickey Rourke, earned her critical acclaim, a Golden Globe nomination, and a third Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She also appeared in an episode of NBC’s Who Do You Think You Are?, where she learned more about her Italian ancestry, tracing her maternal lineage to Tuscany. During the episode, she discovered that her great-grandfather, Francesco Leopoldo Bianchi, had been murdered under tragic circumstances.
From 2008 to 2012, Tomei was linked to actor Logan Marshall-Green, though reports of their relationship were never officially confirmed. In a 2009 interview, Tomei expressed her personal views on marriage, stating, "I'm not a great admirer of marriage as an institution, and I'm not sure why women need to have children to be recognized as whole human beings."
As of recent estimates, Marisa Tomei has a net worth of approximately $20 million. Her ongoing work in television and film continues to reflect her dedication to her craft and her ability to take on a wide variety of roles across genres.
