Although Urban Cowboy had allowed Debra to get the attention of the audience, it was her performance alongside Richard Gere in the 1982 romantic drama An Officer and a Gentleman that allowed Debra to get the attention of both her peers and critics. The film garnered Debra her first of several Academy Award nominations. However, it also marked the start of her numerous on-set feuds, with the actress not getting along well with Richard during filming.

Debra received her second Academy Award nomination for her performance in James L. Brook’s 1983box-office hit Terms of Endearment. However, the film also yielded a second celebrity nemesis for Debra in the form of her iconic costar, Shirley MacLaine. Soon after filming Terms of Endearment, Debra married fellow actor Timothy Hutton and became pregnant. This pregnancy forced her to turn down a role in the 1987 film Broadcast News.

Debra divorced Timothy in 1990 and continued acting for a few years before deciding to take a break from Hollywood in 1995. In 1993, she had acted alongside Anthony Hopkins in the film Shadowlands, a performance that netted the actress her third and final Academy Award nomination.

After taking a break from acting in 1995, Debra returned to Hollywood with 2001’s Big Bad Love. The film was the directorial debut of Arliss Howard, a man whom Debra married in 1996. From there, Debra has continued to sporadically appear on film and television, including a recent role in Miranda July’s Kajillionaire. That film was released in 2020 to massive critical acclaim.
