Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
After years of supporting and mainly decorative roles, this actress has begun to establish herself as a talent to watch. She made her film debut as the English mom who skips town in 3 Men and a Baby (1987), and went on to a variety of parts in Eight Men Out, Married to the Mob (both 1988), Loose Cannons, Air Americaand the sequel 3 Men and a Little Lady (all 1990). Early in 1990, Travis got considerable attention for her work as Andy Garcia's wife in Internal Affairsshe added spice to the ensemble cast of Passed Away (1992), and landed an unusually showy part as the mentally unbalanced Joan Barry in Chaplin (also 1992). She won the female lead (a demanding part) in The Vanishing (1993) and showed her comic skill opposite Mike Myers in So I Married an Axe Murderer (also 1993), but neither enjoyed the box-office success that might boost her stock as a genuine star. In 1994 she costarred in Greedy and lent her voice to TV's animated "Duckman." A stage veteran, Travis appeared in the Broadway production of "I'm Not Rappaport" and is one of the founders of Naked Angels, an off-Broadway theater company. |  |
