Actress Joanna Going, who gained recognition in the 1990s for her roles in films such as "Wyatt Earp" and "Phantoms," as well as later for her part in the acclaimed Netflix series "House of Cards," was recently seen in Los Angeles. Going, born in Washington, D.C. in 1963, has maintained a career that spans decades, including appearances on "Mad Men" and "The Pitt."

Going made her film debut in the 1994 Western "Wyatt Earp," portraying Josie Marcus, the love interest of Kevin Costner's titular character. The film, directed by Lawrence Kasdan, featured a large ensemble cast including Dennis Quaid, Gene Hackman, and Catherine O'Hara.

Career Highlights

In the 1990s, Going also starred in the short-lived revival of the soap opera "Dark Shadows" in 1991, playing the dual roles of governess Victoria Winters and Josette du Pres. The series was later adapted into a film by Tim Burton.

She appeared in the 1998 horror film "Phantoms," a Dean Koontz adaptation, alongside Ben Affleck, Rose McGowan, and Liev Schreiber. The movie, which saw Going and McGowan playing sisters investigating mysterious deaths, was a critical and commercial failure.

Going's television career included a significant arc in "House of Cards" as First Lady Tricia Walker, wife of President Garrett Walker. Her role in the series, which explored political intrigue and power dynamics, earned her new acclaim.

She also featured in the critically lauded series "Mad Men," portraying a character involved in a storyline with Don Draper and his wife Megan.

Personal Life

In 2004, Going married actor Dylan Walsh, with whom she had previously worked on the TV movie "Eden." Walsh was known for his role in the Ryan Murphy program "Nip/Tuck." The couple divorced in 2012. Going and Walsh have a daughter, Stella, born before their marriage.

Most recently, Going had a recurring role on the medical drama "The Pitt" in the past year. Her recent sighting in Los Angeles, where she was seen in casual wear, marks a public appearance for the actress who has largely remained out of the spotlight in recent years.
