kiss of death

How often do you see, in a movie's opening credits, someone billed as, "And Introducing [Name] as [Character]", and never, ever hear from that actor again? The only one i can think of that broke through that curse was Robin Wright in The Princess Bride.

I'd bet a buck that she's better known for Forrest Gump, and she wasn't even married to Sean Penn at the time.

For a buck I'll claim to have known she was in that.

I had no idea that she was in Forrest Gump.

Nonetheless, while she wasn't married to him yet, she was pregnant with his daughter in 1991. Forrest Gump was in 1994.

Forrest Gump will forever be known to me as the movie where Hanks played the daughter of that woman who played his love interest in an earlier film. Implied incest! Whoa!
