Her film break came when she appeared in the stage version of Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam . She became romantically involved with Allen and has played eccentric, neurotic characters in several of his comic films, but has also won acclaim in serious roles. She later had a relationship with Warren Beatty, with whom she also appeared on screen.
