Movie good; Julianne Nicholson great

I have seen several movies and TV shows with Julianne Nicholson playing various roles, such as Tully, Law and Order, Ally McBeal, The Love Letter, Little Black Book etc. She has been excellent in all of those roles. She is a great young actress who brings an exceptionally down to earth and believable presence to the characters she has played. She is pretty, but not "beautiful", which is refreshing, seeing that most of the "beautiful" actresses do not look like real people. Mostly, she is natural; sort of like a female version of the younger Robert DiNiro. Why has she not been offered any of the major/lead roles that some of her less talented female colleagues, too often, have received?
