She appeared opposite Jan Michael Vincent ("Dirty Games"), Malcolm McDowell and Michael Ironside ("Southern Cross"), and James Remar ("The Tigress").
After her performance in "Bloody Mallory", where she played "the malicious one", she turned to playing roles for television.

She starred in this production with Catherine Deneuve, Rupert Everett, Leelee Sobieski and Nastassja Kinski.
