Debra Winger impressed many with her spectacular performance in the 1983 film, "Terms of Endearment." At her age now, the legendary actress's beauty is still remarkable.
In August 2019, "Terms of Endearment" star Debra Winger shared a photo on Instagram that shows she remains one of the most beautiful women in the entertainment industry. She celebrated her 65th birthday last May.
Winger remains active in show business; in fact, she stars in a new movie that will be released later this year.

Her first acting role came in 1976 when she was chosen to portray Debbie's role in the film, "Slumber Party' 57." She also joined the cast of the hit television series "Wonder Woman" (1979), playing Diana Prince's younger sister, Drusilla.
The producers had wanted Winger to appear more often in the show that starred Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince.
However, the actress declined because she feared that the role would hurt her fledgling career. She had no regrets about her decision because she enjoyed exponential growth as an actress after that.
Winger's reputation as an exceptional talent grew with the film "Terms of Endearment" (1983). The movie earned her an Oscar nomination as Best Actress and a Best Actress Award from the National Society of Film Critics.
In "Terms of Endearment," Winger starred as Emma Greenway, a young woman who is feeling smothered by her controlling mother, Aurora, played by Shirley MacLaine.
No one can deny that Winger is one of the greatest American actresses ever.

In 2002, the actress decided to take a break from showbiz. "I wanted out for years," Winger explained. "I got sick of hearing myself say I wanted to quit."
However, that did not last long. Since that break, successful films followed every few years. Winger has also ventured into television, starring in the 2005 TV movie, "Dawn Anna."
For her work in the show, the actress earned her first Emmy nomination for Best Actress. In 2008, Winger wrote a book titled "Undiscovered," which was based on her personal recollections.

That year, she starred as Anne Hathaway's mother in "Rachel Getting Married," which earned her rave reviews. Two years later, Winger appeared on the hit television series, "Law and Order."
Her star continued to shine with appearances in "In Treatment" and "The Red Tent." In 2016, Winger had a regular role in "The Ranch."
Her recent work in "Kajillionaire" (2020) has her as Theresa Dyne. No one can deny that Winger is one of the greatest American actresses ever. Her legion of fans hopes that Hollywood will finally reward her talent with an Oscars.
