Her first starring role on Broadway was in Morning Noon & Night, three one-act plays written by Israel Horowitz, Terrence McNally and Leonard Melfi. Her television credits include: ER, The Heidi Chronicles, Beverly Hills 90210, The Disappearance of Christina, Bloodlines, Afterburn, Murder She Wrote, Norman and the Killer, Brothers, Falcon Crest (one year), Knots Landing (six months), Victims for Victims: The Theresa Saldana Story, and 79 Park Avenue.

Her film credits include: Rocky I, II, V, Arachnophobia, There Goes the Neighborhood, True Identitiy, Buckaroo Banzai, One Night Stand (directed by Rocky and Rocky V co-star Talia Shire) and Coming Apart (directed by Milton Moses Gingsburg).
