The New York Film Critics cited her work in all three films in naming her Best Supporting Actress. She received a Golden Globe for "Enchanted April" and was nominated for an Oscar for "Damage."

On television, recent exploits include a series regular role in AMC's conspiracy thriller series "Rubicon," three films for Hallmark Hall of Fame — "Merlin," "Alice" and "Snow White" — as well as Showtime's "The Big Brass Ring" and BBC's "A Dance to the Music of Time."
