In the 90's Jennifer's luck began to change. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway in 1994. The next year she ranked 23rd in the "25 Sexiest Woman of 1995", with the measurements 36C-24-34 that comes as no surprise. Over the next several years she had many major movie appearances.
