A ’90s movie icon looks unrecognisable 32 years after co-starring alongside Tom Cruise in a hit film.

The famous actress was seen out and about with her family in Los Angeles.

Jeanne Tripplehorn, 61, wore a black cropped top, jeans, and black boots.

One of her first film roles was in legal thriller The Firm where she played Abby McDeere, wife to Tom Cruise’s lead character, lawyer Mitch.

The Firm was based on crime writer John Grisham’s 1991 novel of the same name.

Per IMDB, its premise says: “A young lawyer joins a prestigious law firm only to discover that it has a sinister dark side.”

The star-studded cast also included Oscar winner Gene Hackman, as well as Oscar nominees Hal Holbrook and David Strathairn.

Jeanne’s very first film, 1992’s Basic Instinct, also featured a star-studded lead cast.

Playing Dr. Beth Garner, she appeared opposite Oscar winner Michael Douglas and nominee Sharon Stone.

Since then, Jeanne embarked on a successful career spanning over three decades - including scoring an Emmy nomination.

Her other movies include post apocalyptic action Waterworld and romantic comedy Sliding Doors.

In addition, Jeanne has also worked extensively on various television projects.

She had a leading role as Barbara Hendrickson on HBO’s drama series Big Love, which ran from 2006 to 2011.

Starring opposite the late Bill Paxton, the show followed a fundamentalist Mormon family that practised polygamy.

Jeanne’s character, Barbara, was the first of the lead character’s three simultaneous wives.

The actress also played Dr. Alex Blake, an FBI linguistics expert, in police drama Criminal Minds, from 2012 to 2014.

In 2009, she delivered an Emmy-nominated turn as Jackie Kennedy in TV movie Grey Gardens.

This biographical drama depicted the life of Jackie’s first cousin, socialite and fashion model Edith Bouvier Beale.

The role of Edith - nicknamed “Little Edie” - was played by Drew Barrymore.
