Actress Greta Scacchi has used her "painful" heartache over former lover Vincent D'Onofrio to resurrect her acting career in a new show on London's West End.

The White Mischief star was so devastated when she split from D'Onofrio in 1992 she couldn't act for four years - crushing her blossoming Hollywood career.

But Scacchi admits she was forced to resurrect those life-changing emotions for her new role as Hester Collyer in Terence Rattigan's drama The Deep Blue Sea.

She says, "With Rattigan, the convention is that you keep a stiff upper lip and nobody shows any emotion.

"But he (director Edward Hall) got us to really plumb the depths of these emotions and use our own stories. It was quite a cathartic experience.

"I felt I had reawakened stuff in my own situation of overwhelming sexual passion that was unrequited. It was very, very painful and quite scarring."

Movie funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen has discovered there is life after his comic creation Borat - he has landed a starring role in a Steven Spielberg movie. Just a week after Cohen announced he had retired Borat - following the success of 2006 movie Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan - he has been signed to star as 60s hippie satirist Abbie Hoffman in The Trial of the Chicago Seven. Hoffman found fame during the Vietnam War by playing pranks to campaign against the conflict. The movie is slated for release in 2010. Vincent D'Onofrio previously played Hoffman in 2000 film Steal This Movie, which was based on a screenplay written by Hoffman and his wife Anita.
