These roles allowed her to maintain a consistent presence in Hollywood during the late 1980s, even as she continued to navigate the challenges brought on by her earlier career setback. Throughout the 1990s, she remained active on television, guest-starring in popular series such as “Quantum Leap,” “ER,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Murder, She Wrote,” and “Sliders.”
Her performances were consistently well-received, and she was known for bringing intensity and depth to every role she played. Yet while her career was regaining traction, her personal life reflected a much different pace — one rooted in simplicity, family, and a conscious effort to stay grounded.

In a past interview, she revealed that she was previously married to actor Stephen McHattie, and the couple lived in suburban Los Angeles with their son, Christopher. Life at home was far removed from the industry’s demands, with evenings centered around family meals and simple routines.
“I cook — by throwing things together. I cook every night. I taste as I go along,” she shared, describing her daily routine. Their home in Topanga Canyon featured a garden where they once grew their own strawberries. “Since the heavy rains this year, we’ve been too busy trying to save our trees to plant a garden,” she said.
