10 Actors You Had No Idea Were In Recent Movies

1. Talia Shire - Megalopolis

Talia Shire is best known for her Oscar-nominated performances as Connie Corleone in The Godfather Part II and love interest Adrian in Rocky, though has acted only intermittently over the last 20 years, most often in either films you've never heard of or projects directed by one of her many filmmaker relatives.

But Shire did briefly show up in one of the most ambitious movies of last year - Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.

Shire has a few fleeting scenes as Constance Crassus Catilina, the mother of protagonist Cesar (Adam Driver), yet between her transformative costume and makeup, as well as the fact that general audiences likely haven't seen Shire on-screen in a few-dozen years, you probably didn't spot her.

It's worth noting at this point, of course, that Shire is the sister of director Coppola, so it's not hugely surprising to see her showing up in her big brother's long-awaited "comeback," even if she's not easily noticed.
