Thank you! I couldn't figure why that person posted about "Will & Grace" when the thread was about Debra Winger.

I like that she LEANED OUT...

She was eclipsed by far more attractive actresses who came along around the same time.

Like a PP said, she has some iconic roles under her belt. I thought she was GREAT. Her retirement from Hollywood was pretty much voluntary, from what I've heard. She has a very successful artisan textile business in upstate NY now.

This is just not true. She was nominated for every acting award out there and voluntarily stepped away (for whatever reason).

Here's an interesting article from the NY Times about her. It's a few years old but still relevant.

That doesn't make sense. They were only married three or four years.

She was difficult to work with, sadly.

Did you read "you'll never nanny in this town again"? There's something about Debra winger and Michael ovitz and he wrecked her career

She was fantastic in 'Officer and a Gentleman' snd "Terms of Endearment'.

Dont know.

Thanks for starting this thread, OP. Always thought she was great. Loved her in Terms of Endearment, Officer and a Gentleman, and Black Widow. As others have said, she voluntarily dropped out of Hollywood and moved to upstate NY. Here's another article:

I read this (prompted by the thread) - apparently she was nasty to people on the set and refused to even promo officer and the gentlemen so I think her next big movie she probably already had a contract for was her last biggie.
