Preston, a native of Honolulu, won many roles in front of the camera. In the first one, in the film Ten to Midnight, she appeared alongside the famous Charles Bronson. She was catapulted to world acquaintance by the comedy Twins, where she seconded the tandem of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito. You can remember it, for example, from a film about sports agent Jerry Maguire, played by Tom Cruise. Or from the Game of Dreams, where she was Kevin Costner’s partner.

They repeated their collaboration in front of the cameras two years ago as husband and wife John and Victoria Gotti in the film Gotti.
