Beautifu girl who I couldn't agree more has not had the career she should have. Both Elisabeth and Lou Diamond Phillips are 80's young actors who are way more talented than their careers have let them be. I thought that both of them would be 'A' listers by now. Maybe they can have a career boost in their late 40's.

Yes but it seems like she never got the chance to act in a decent movie ever again after acting Leaving Las Vegas. Although Meg Ryan and Demi Moore aren't fairing that well, they had their day in the sun for a while. Ms. Shue never did.

Nicolas Cage is an A list actor. He is a huge star. He has had continued success. Ms. Shue hasn't. She doesn't star in movies. I'm not quite sure what the point of your posts are. This thread poses the question "Why hasn't her career gone anywhere." For some reason you keep bringing up points that are irrelevant to the topic. I'm beginning to think you are posting purely for the sake of arguementBut if that's the case, instead of responding to my counter arguements, you bring up completely different issues altogether. I just don't get it
The bottom line is this: Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Hilary Swank, Angelina Jolie, everyone knows who they are. Elisabeth Shue on the other hand is not as famous. Why is that?

I was never able to watch her w/o wanting to see her naked. This may have presented a problem in her career if many other guys felt the same way. She would have needed to be naked in every film she did.an unlikely circumstance.
Too late now at age 46.
Oh, well. -

She's been in little things every year it's just that she has 3 children which likely takes up her time.
I respect that she would rather raise her kids than have a maid or au pair raise them.

She's said in past interviews that she enjoys taking on roles in smaller films since they often allow her to play interesting characters that push her as an actress. She's also said that the bigger films that she's starred in, while fun, are often more to do with paying the bills since the money is better and they're fun to make.
She's been steadily working her whole acting career which is a good thing for an actress. She's certainly done a lot better than some of the other young actresses that were tipped for big things in the 1980s.

i believe it to be several things
- i think she enjoys her kids & family more than working.
- i believe she is married to a successful producer. thus, her not NEEDING to work as much.
- she is a VERY smart woman. & i believe i heard she has several other ventures and intrest that take up alot of her time.
- and while i believe her to be a supreme talent. i cant sit & be naive to the fact that "aging" actresses have a tougher time finding work. from what i hear its an epidemic in hollywood. that is unless you're in the select group of kidman, roberts, & streep. and while shue is prob not streep, i believe her to be just as talented as nicole kidman or julia roberts.
