She has since built an illustrious career with notable roles in films such as "True Romance," "Flirting with Disaster," "Holes," "Fast Food Nation," "The Wannabe," "Toy Story 4," and critically acclaimed films "Ed Wood," and "Boyhood."
Arquette's performance in the coming-of-age drama film "Boyhood," which was filmed over a twelve-year period from 2002 to 2014, has been celebrated with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, a BAFTA Award, a Critics' Choice Award, and a Golden Globe Award, among others. Her television portfolio is equally impressive, with her portraying characters in popular series like "Medium," "Boardwalk Empire," "CSI: Cyber," "Escape at Dannemora," and "Severance."

Arquette also delivered award-winning performances in the Showtime miniseries "Escape at Dannemora," winning a Golden Globe Award, and the Hulu anthology series "The Act," for which she won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.
Besides her acting prowess, Arquette co-founded the non-profit organization GiveLove, which is involved with projects that treat and compost waste, improve public health, and create job opportunities focused on recycling in Haiti, a place she frequently visits to oversee the organization's work. She is also an advocate for gender equality, equal pay, and LGBTQ+ rights, often using her platform at award ceremonies to bring attention to these issues.

Fighting Against Breast Cancer
More than 200,000 American women develop breast cancer every year, and about 40,000 lose their fight with the disease. After her mother died of breast cancer in 1997, Patricia Arquette vowed she would do everything she could to raise awareness about the disease and continue the fight for a long-awaited cure. Patricia has run in the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and also was the spokesperson for Lee National Denim Day, which raises millions of dollars for breast cancer research and education. In this talk, Patricia tells the personal story of how breast cancer has affected her family, reveals the measures she takes to protect herself, and discusses how raising awareness about the disease and women’s health is more important than ever.

Turning Codependent Struggles Into Strengths
“When I arrived in Haiti after the earthquake, I realized that my marriage was in its last death throes and I was having a personal crisis,” Patricia Arquette says. “While I understood some of my own personality traits had led to this deconstruction, I also found that those same tendencies could be an asset when applied in a more significant arena.” In this personal talk, Patricia explains how, through finding a new relationship to community, others could help her just as much as she could help them. This talk takes a new look at the concept of codependency, and poses a complex question: can some of the same tendencies that wreak havoc in one’s personal life be focused in a more universal trajectory to bring mutual benefit to all? In this talk, Patricia explores how codependence can be transformed into a positive force—community interdependence—to help bring about significant changes to people’s lives.
