Her performance in Hungary’s biggest hit of the 1990s, Sose halunk meg (1993) (We Never Die), which made the final 35 films selected for Best Foreign Film entries for the Academy Awards, made her an extremely popular actress in eastern and central Europe. She won Best Actress at the Los Angeles Hungarian Film Festival in 2011 for her lead role in Retrace (2011) and was nominated for Best Actress at the New York International Film Festival in 2015 for A Play on Words (2014).
