MiniBio

This talented leading lady, Lisa Eichhorn, has truly made her mark across both stage and screen, effortlessly balancing her career between England and the US. It was in 1979 that American audiences first took notice of Lisa Eichhorn, thanks to her compelling performance opposite Richard Gere in the World War II romance “Yanks.” Though she’s originally from the States, Lisa Eichhorn made the personal choice to base herself in England, which somewhat reduced her visibility in her home country. Still, despite not becoming a mainstream box-office draw, Lisa Eichhorn has delivered a number of powerful and critically-acclaimed performances over the years.

Early on, she shared the screen with Lee Remick in the Merchant-Ivory adaptation “The Europeans” (1979), then went on to star opposite Treat Williams in “Why Would I Lie?” (1980). One of her standout roles came as “Mo” Cutter in the atmospheric thriller “Cutter’s Way” (1981), where she held her own alongside Jeff Bridges and John Heard—truly a defining moment in Lisa Eichhorn’s filmography. As the decades progressed, Lisa Eichhorn naturally transitioned into more mature roles. In the ‘90s, she began portraying mothers with depth and nuance, such as Jesse Bradford’s emotionally strained mother in Steven Soderbergh’s poignant “King of the Hill” (1993). She also took on the role of the First Lady in the lighthearted, if forgettable, comedy “First Kid” (1996). Through it all, Lisa Eichhorn has remained a consistently strong presence, bringing authenticity and quiet strength to every character she plays.

Trivia

When it comes to Lisa Eichhorn’s filmography, fans and critics often point to Cutter’s Way (1981) as her standout performance—definitely her highest rated movie. It’s a film that really showcases Lisa Eichhorn’s range and depth as an actress, earning strong praise over the years. On the other end of the spectrum, Lisa Eichhorn appeared in Boys and Girls (2000), which, unfortunately, didn’t resonate as well with audiences or reviewers—making it her lowest rated film to date. While Lisa Eichhorn has delivered memorable roles throughout her career, these two titles tend to stand out when discussing the peaks and valleys of her work.
