She then moved to New York City with Frances McDormand, beginning a Broadway career. After appearing in the 1981 slasher film The Burning, she moved to Los Angeles a year later, taking on various supporting roles in theatrical and television films before starring in Raising Arizona (1987) and receiving an Academy Award nomination for her role in Broadcast News (1987).
