Mia is the daughter of Diane and Jerome Sarapochiello, who both had artistic skills; her mother was a photographer and designer, while her father also a photographer and artist. Mia went to St. Ann`s School in Brooklyn, New York City, and after matriculation, pursued a career in acting.
Mia`s professional debut was as Lili in the film “Legend” (1985) starring Tom Cruise; she received positive critiques for the role, which inspired her to continue to work as an actress. The following year, Mia had the female lead in “Ferris Bueller`s Day Off” with Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck, and by the end of the 1980s, Mia had featured in TV series “Queenie” (1986) and “Till We Meet Again” (1989), and the films “Apprentice To Murder” (1988) with Donald Sutherland and Chad Lowe, “Shadows In The Storm” (1988), and starred in “Big Time” (1989), all of which certainly increased her net worth.
She started off the next decade with roles in “Any Man`s Death” (1990), alongside John Savage, “Daughter Of Darkness” (1990), and “A Climate For Killing” (1991), increasing further her net worth. Before 1995, Mia featured in such accomplishments as “By the Sword” (1991), “Call of the Wild” (1992), “Blindsided” (1993), and “Caroline at Midnight” (1994), however none of these films left a mark on Hollywood history. Nevertheless, she then appeared as Melissa in “Timecop” (1994) next to Jean-Claude Van Damme, and continued to appear in B production films such as “The Set Up” (1995), “Black Day Blue Night” (1995), “Undertow” (1996), “Hard Time” (1998), and “Dazzle” (1999).
Mia continued to pile up film and TV titles to her name, and started the new millennium by lending her voice to Princess Dayzie in the animated film “Little Insects”, and then appeared as Molly Connor in “The Incredible Elephant” in 2001. The next year, she had a lead role in Charles Jarrott`s “Turn Of Faith”, alongside boxer Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, and the same year she was selected for the role of Dr. Harleen Quinze aka Harley Quinn in the TV series “Birds Of Prey” (2002-2003). In 2003 she had a starring role in “Hoodlum & Son”, written and directed by Ashley Way.
From then she appeared sporadically until 2013, when she decided to retire. She featured in several productions more, however, including in “Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King” (2006), and “Dorothy and the Witches of Oz” (2012), which only increased her net worth.
Thanks to her skills, Mia received a Saturn Award in the category Best Supporting Actress, for her work on film “Timecop”.
Regarding her personal life, Mia has been married to actor, producer and director Brian Henson, since 2010; the couple has one child. Previously, she was married to Sean Connery`s son, Jason Connery from 1996 until 2002, with whom she also has one child.
