<\/p>\nMelissa Leo regrets winning Oscar\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
American actress Melissa Leo believes winning an Oscar killed her career.<\/p>\n
The actress starred in 2010 movie The Fighter <\/i>as Alice Ward, for which she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.<\/p>\n
However, over the years, Melissa has regretted the win.<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old actress said the experience limited her opportunities in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview she said \u201cIt has not been good for me or my career\u201d.<\/p>\n
She went on to add that she never wanted to win it in the first place.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t dream of it, I never wanted it, and I had a much better career before I won\u201d.<\/p>\n
As per the actress, the win narrowed her opportunities and she stated to receive only a certain type of offers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy to play what I\u2019m offered, apart from after The Fighter, when all I was offered was older, nasty women. I don\u2019t want to do that anymore.\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
She has expressed her desire to break away from the typecasting and explore newer characters.<\/p>\n
Her most recent work was in 2025\u2019s Guns Up.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
