Debra Winger filmography

The daughter of a kosher frozen-food distributor, Debra dropped out of high school to join an Israeli kibbutz. Upon returning to the US, she studied at California State University, dropped out and became a tour guide at the Magic Mountain amusement park.

A serious accident gave Winger time to contemplate her future, and she settled upon an acting career. Her first role was as the super powered younger sister in the fantasy TV series, 'Wonder Woman'.

Her film debut was in 'Slumber Party '57', but her first real success came opposite John Travolta in 'Urban Cowboy'. She was also praised for her part in 1982’s 'An Officer and a Gentleman', although she was uncomfortable with the film's nude scene.

Her next important part was in 'Terms of Endearment', and her performance garnered an Oscar nomination. Winger never again had a box-office hit to match 'Terms of Endearment', though she remained a favourite of the film critics for her work in such little-seen epics as 'Mike's Murder' and 'Black Widow'.

Media scrutiny of her private life increased, due to her romance with Nebraska governor, Robert Kerrey.

Winger's roles became more unorthodox, never more so than when she undertook a lengthy, unbilled male part in 'Made in Heaven'. She continued to appear in high-profile but low-grossing films into the 1990s, but was replaced by Geena Davis in 'A League of Their Own'. A reoccurring back ailment also prevented Winger from participating in 'Peggy Sue Got Married' and 'Bull Durham'.
