In 1995 Winger decided to take a hiatus from acting. Other starring roles during this period included Legal Eagles, Made in Heaven, Everybody Wins, The Sheltering Sky, Leap of Faith, Black Widow, Betrayed, Wilder Napalm, and A Dangerous Woman. It was later reported that Winger dropped out of the film because she refused to work with Madonna, whom Winger did not consider a serious actress.
She was cast in A League of Their Own but dropped out and was replaced by Geena Davis. The injury affected Winger's ability to work for several months. Winger was to play Peggy Sue in the film Peggy Sue Got Married but was forced to back out just before production began after injuring her back in a bicycle accident. When Barbara Walters interviewed Bette Davis in 1986, Davis said, "I see a great deal of myself in Debra Winger." She has expressed her dislike of An Officer and a Gentleman, for which she refused to do any publicity, and several of her other films, and has been dismissive of some of her co-stars and directors. Over the years Winger acquired a reputation for being outspoken and difficult to work with. Her performance in A Dangerous Woman earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress twice more: for Terms of Endearment in 1983 (which was awarded to her co-star, Shirley MacLaine, who played her mother in the film) and for Shadowlands in 1993, for which she also received her second BAFTA nomination. In 1982 she co-starred with Nick Nolte in Cannery Row and with Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Winger's first major role was in Thank God It's Friday, followed by Urban Cowboy in 1980, for which she received a BAFTA nomination and a pair of Golden Globe nominations (for Best Performance by an Actress and Best New Star). Winger played a supporting role in Willard Huyck's 1979 comic coming-of-age film French Postcards.

This was followed by a guest role in Season 4 of the TV drama Police Woman in 1978. The producers wanted her to appear more often, but she refused, fearing that the role would hurt her fledgling career.

Her next role was as Diana Prince's younger sister Drusilla ( Wonder Girl) in three episodes of ABC's TV series Wonder Woman. Winger's first acting role was as "Debbie" in the 1976 sexploitation film Slumber Party '57. 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. At age 18, after returning to the U.S., she was involved in a car crash and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage as a result, she was left partially paralyzed and blind for 10 months, initially being told that she would never see again. Over the years, she told many interviewers that she volunteered on an Israeli kibbutz, sometimes even saying she had trained with the Israel Defense Forces, but in a 2008 interview she said she was merely on a typical youth tour that visited the kibbutz. Winger was born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, into an Orthodox Jewish family, to Robert Winger, a meat packer, and Ruth (née Felder), an office manager. She received a lifetime achievement award at the Transilvania International Film Festival in 2014, and starred in the Netflix original television series The Ranch (2016–2020). In 2012, she made her Broadway debut in the original production of David Mamet's play The Anarchist. Winger's other films include Urban Cowboy (1980), Legal Eagles (1986), Black Widow (1987), Betrayed (1988), The Sheltering Sky (1990), Forget Paris (1995), and Rachel Getting Married (2008). Winger won the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actress for Terms of Endearment, and the Tokyo International Film Festival Award for Best Actress for A Dangerous Woman (1993). She starred in the films An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), Terms of Endearment (1983), and Shadowlands (1993), each of which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Debra Lynn Winger (born May 16, 1955) is an American actress.
