They met in person two years later, in 1983, for a film that they were supposed to be cast in, called 'Road Show'. But it was revamped and made with different actors a decade later under a new title, Medicine Man - Die letzten Tage von Eden . Hutton later said they talked for six hours about everything at that first meeting, and Winger said there was so much electricity between them that they got scared and ran in opposite directions. Almost immediately, they started living together and married just three months later. Her orthodox Jewish grandmother stopped talking to her, because Hutton wasn't Jewish.

She also walked out on her agency, CAA, but returned several years later. Debra's reputation as a great talent, as well as her reputation as a difficult actress grew with her next film,Zeit der Zärtlichkeit , which not only earned her a second Oscar nomination as Best Actress but also won the Best Picture as well. Some speculated that the reason was her romantic involvement withBob Kerrey, then-governor of Nebraska, while others have stated it was her back problems. Her long-delayed filmMike's Mörder , reuniting her with her "Urban Cowboy" director James Bridges, didn't help matters either when it became a critical and financial flop. Madonna was no fan of Winger either, since she told Carrie Fisher that one of her nicknames was Kit Moresby, a character from a novel she loved, until she saw the film adaptation of that novel where Winger played Kit in Himmel über der Wüste .

But that just meant she didn't make as many movies as other major actresses might have. The movies she often makes tend toward the interesting, provocative, small, and well-reviewed; in other words, low-budget independent films that don't get seen much beyond film festivals and the deepest recesses of Netflix ... Still, this was true for a long time, and, not only did Debra Winger bear the brunt of it, she was also the poster child for it. Inspired by what she saw — and Winger's self-imposed exile — actress Rosanna Arquette released a well-received 2002 documentary about this problem called Searching for Debra Winger. Being so tied to this Hollywood criticism may have cast a pall over Winger's career.
