When she got older, she became a still photographer and photographed
the pictures for his record singles. During the early 80s, she decided
to take up acting like her brother's first wife,
Julianne Phillips, did during the
mid-80s and she had a small role in her first film playing a young
cheerleader named "Dina Phillips" in the cult teen comedy classic
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982),
and got some brief exposure, as it launched many other future
celebrities in the film like
Forest Whitaker,
Nicolas Cage and
James Russo. She then won a
supporting role halfway through a film by playing the role of another
cheerleader named "Karen Sybern" in the teen drama
Reckless (1984), which also starred
Aidan Quinn and
Daryl Hannah. After a couple of other
supporting roles in teen films like
Modern Girls (1986) and

accepted the lead role in two slasher flick sequels
known as
Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988)
