She made ends meet with part-time modelling and restaurant work, but dreamt of being an actress, and after several small roles in low-budget films, she shot ' The Adventures of Baron Munchausen' with Terry Gilliam, which raised her profile ans saw her typecast as the Sexy Young Girl. Before long, she was in demand for roles with a an erotic element, such as June in 'Henry and June'.
