Maria de Medeiros, DamSE (pron. IPA [mɐ'ɾiɐ dɨ mɨ'dɐiɾuʃ]) (born August 19, 1965 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese actress and director who has been involved in both European and American film productions. She is the daughter of musician and composer António Vitorino de Almeida.
Among Maria de Medeiros' most memorable film appearances are two early 1990s roles. Her considerable resemblance to Anaïs Nin landed her the primary role in Henry & June (1990) in which she played the author. In 1994 Medeiros appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, playing Butch Coolidge's (Bruce Willis) girlfriend Fabienne.
Recently, she has starred in the Canadian movie The Saddest Music in the World (2004) directed by Guy Maddin, alongside co-stars Isabella Rossellini and former Kids in the Hall actor Mark McKinney.
