Made her debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and built a career on unglamorous, specific roles — a working single mother filmed in Boyhood over twelve real years, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and a psychic loosely based on Allison DuBois in the series Medium. She won an Emmy for playing a corrections officer in Escape at Dannemora and another for The Act, and currently plays Harmony Cobel in Severance.
