I enjoyed her on L&O: CI, though I don't think she was given enough of a chance to shine. (Everyone else she was working with on that show had had at least four years of experience and that is not an easy show to catch onto.) I'm not much of a fan of her choice of movies when she was big. I can stoop as far as loving What Dreams May Come, but even that is far too sappy for my tastes. I haven't seen much else of her recent work but the screencaps I've looked at show something promising.
