Debra Winger (born May 16, 1955) is an Academy Award- nominated American actress.

Early life

Born Mary Debra Winger in Cleveland Heights, Ohio to a Jewish family, she spent several years in Israel, and served in the Israel Defense Forces. After returning to the United States, she was involved in an automobile accident and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage as a result. She was left partially paralyzed and blind for ten months, although she was initially told that she would never see again. With time on her hands to think about her life, she decided that, if she recovered, she would move to California and become an actress.

Career

Her first acting role was as Diana Prince's younger sister Drusilla (Wonder Girl) in the Wonder Woman television series. She got her first starring role in Urban Cowboy in 1980, opposite John Travolta for which she received a BAFTA award nomination. In 1982, she co-starred with Nick Nolte in "Cannery Row". Also in 1982, she starred opposite Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In 1986 Winger was in Legal Eagles with Robert Redford and Daryl Hannah. Her voice, digitally altered, was used as the voice of E.T. though she was not credited in the film.

Debra Winger had developed a reputation in Hollywood for being abrasive or difficult. However, her acting work has received acknowledgement and critical acclaim. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for Terms of Endearment in 1983, and Best Actress for Shadowlands in 1993 for which she also received her second BAFTA award nomination. In 1995, Winger left the film industry. In 2001, a critically acclaimed documentary film titled Searching For Debra Winger was made by director/writer/actor Rosanna Arquette and released in 2002 after Winger returned to performing.

Other films include Made in Heaven, Everybody Wins, The Sheltering Sky, Leap of Faith, Black Widow, Betrayed, Wilder Napalm, Cannery Row, A Dangerous Woman, and Sometimes in April. She also earned an Emmy Award nomination for her performance in Dawn Anna in 2005, marking her return to acting.

Personal life

From 1986 to 1990 she was married to actor Timothy Hutton and is currently married (since 1996) to actor Arliss Howard, and has a son from each marriage: Noah Hutton (born in 1987) and Babe Howard (born in 1997). She dated then-Gov. Bob Kerrey while filming Terms of Endearment (part of which is set in Nebraska) in Lincoln, Nebraska.
