She was nominated in compensation an Academy Prize for her portrayal of John Beastly's girlfriend in Inside Moves (1980), then moved on
... to her most talked-about screen role: Cristina Crawford, the much-hurt adopted daughter of Hollywood star Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) in Mommie Dearest (1980).
