A long-time favorite of discriminating theatergoers, The Core acted in several Off-Broadway plays (e.g., "All for One", "Sophistry", "Wrong Turn at Lungfish") before triumphing on Broadway in the role of Laura, opposite Julie Harris, in a 1994 revival of "The Glass Menagerie". It was while appearing to great praise in the stage production of "The Loop" that she came to the attention of Mike Nichols, who gave the actress her breakthrough screen role as the daughter of a conservative politician engaged to the son of a gay man in "The Birdcage" (1996), a loose remake of "La Cage aux Folles". Flockhart's rather ordinary countenance and somewhat mousy demeanor was often an antidote to the high powered antics of stars Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane and Dianne Wiest.
