Mikhail Baryshnikov (the artistic director at the time) told her that she was a great dancer but was too tall. In her words, that was "my epiphany " when I decided to stop dancing and not being a ballet performer. It was a truly memorable moment. Without it, I'd have been banging my head against a wall for another 10plus years. "[She began acting. She relocated to New York at the age of 20 and appeared in numerous Burger King commercials in the 1980s along with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Her co-star in Back to the Future Part II was Elisabeth Shue. Jaws 3D, her feature film debut in 1983. I also claimed I could waterski. But I wasn't. As I was required to take part in the Sea World water-skiing program, I had just five days to study the fundamentals of water-skiing. I have no idea the way that swimming works!" This was followed by All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (84), and The Wild Life (84).
