The next significant project in the career of the actress was the thriller "Good Son" (1993) about a small but very cruel boy.

Then, with Harrison Ford, she was on the set of the action movie The President's Air Force (1997) and successfully played the first lady of the United States, Grace Marshall.

Collaboration with Harrison Ford was repeated in the thriller "What lies behind" (2000).
