Barkin is an enduringly sultry actress and ex-wife of Ron Perelman.

The Bronx native made her on-screen debut in the 1981 made-for-NBC miniseries Kent State and appeared in Barry Levinson's Diner a year later. Since then, her gigs have improved only modestly-for the most part she's played supporting roles in big budget clunkers or starred in low-profile indies. She got down and dirty with Al Pacino in 1989's Sea of Love, and had a smallish part in Terry Gilliam's 1998 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. As of late, she's had a second-string role in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Thirteen and Another Happy Day, directed by Barry Levinson's son Sam, and developed quite the penchant for foul-mouthed Tweets.

Barkin's personal life has tended to attract more attention than her career. Formerly married to actor Gabriel Byrne, she then married the notoriously temperamental Ron Perelman in 2000. One good sign you're marrying the wrong man: On the day of the wedding, Perelman's third wife, Patricia Duff, issued Barkin her condolences via a press release. Predictably, Perelman and Barkin didn't live happily ever after-the couple split in 2006. How much Barkin ended up collecting is unclear: Her camp says $20 million, while his friends say it was more like $60 million. These days she's been canoodling with her Another Happy Day director Sam Levinson, who is 31 years her junior. [Image via Getty]
