In the 1980s, she worked alongside Paul Newman in "Fort Apache: The Bronx," starred in Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes," and earned an NAACP Image Award for Best Actress in a play through her role in "Fool for Love" by Sam Shepard.

In the 1990s, her performance as the title character in Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" earned her nominations for best actress from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild and the NAACP Image Award in 1997.
