Plummer began appearing in small to mid size roles in television and films in the early 1980s. Her first successes came from her stage work.

The following year, she won a Tony Award for Featured Actress and a Drama Desk Award for her portrayal of Sister Agnes in the play Agnes of God.
Following her successes on the stage, Plummer began appearing in major roles on television and in film. One of her most recognized appearances was on L.A.

"Honey Bunny") in Pulp Fiction and Rose in So I Married An Axe Murderer.
Her film roles have been described as "spooky, kooky, half-mad characters."
