In 2002, writer and actress Nia Vardalos created a true romcom film phenomenon with "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." She had taken her story about, as The New York Times described it, a woman "emerging from her cocoon," from page to stage to screen. And it was a huge success, pulling in more than $368 million at the box office. It was a story Hollywood hadn't seen before, and it was highly refreshing for a huge audience. Vardalos seems poised for superstardom, but she's remained relatively quiet in the years since. Yes, there was a "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" sequel and a short-lived TV series, and she appeared in a few other films, but Vardalos never had the ubiquity that so many other romcom stars have. Some of that has been by choice, some not. Here's why you don't see this "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" actress anymore. #Actress #MyBigFatGreekWedding #Celebrity Short-lived sitcom | 0:00 Motherhood | 1:12 A long wait | 1:48 Against the grain | 2:26 Marriage split | 3:42 Understanding adoption | 4:26 Staying home | 5:15 Voiceover work | 5:48 Another Sequel | 6:27 Still a playwright | 7:09 Charitable donations | 8:37 Social media breaks | 9:54
