She moved to New York in 1980, where she studied art at New York University.<ref name="ny">Template:Cite news</ref> Her movie career started after a chance encounter with someone whose mother was designing the sets for the film Ragtime, and she got the job of a PA (production assistant) in the film.<ref name="st" /><ref name="nt" /> She worked as an assistant to a costume designer and eventually earned her first film credit for A Little Sex, directed by Bruce Paltrow.<ref name="ny" />
