In 1988, she starred in the box office bomb Vibes, playing a psychic named Sylvia, who goes with her friend Nick (played by Jeff Goldblum) on a pilgrimage to the Ecuadorian Andes to find the “source of psychic energy”.

The movie cost $18 million to produce and earned just $1.8 million in ticket sales, along with terrible reviews.
