This performance was so magnanimous that it helped her bag several other roles in big-budget films like ‘Everyone Says I Love You,’ ‘200 Cigarettes,’ and ‘Volcano.’ Hoffman continues to play characters in successful sitcoms, like HBO’s ‘Girls’ (in which she had a pretty crazy role) and Amazon’s ‘Transparent.’
