Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
In her first major film role, as stripper Blaze Starr in Blaze (1989), this leggy young actress more than held her own opposite veteran Paul Newman. A relative newcomer to the screen, she'd had small roles in The Big Town and Adventures in Babysitting (both 1987), billed as Lolita David, before snaring the part of the lusty redhead who seduced a Louisiana governor. She played Andie MacDowell's friend in The Object of Beauty (1991) and that same year appeared as an impoverished Russian wife in The Inner Circle She tried her hand at Hitchcockian thrillers in Brian De Palma's Raising Cain (1992), and was extremely winning as a small-town waitress in Leap of Faith the same year. A warm, appealing personality, Davidovich should be wary of being typecast in best-friend or floozywith-heart-of-gold roles; she can do that easily if the right scripts come her way. Recent credits include Keep the Change (1992 telefilm), Boiling Point (1993), Intersection and Cobb (both 1994). |  |
