After graduation from Juilliard, she joined John Houseman's touring repertory company The Acting Company, where she stayed for three years.
During this time, she performed in productions of Shakespeare's King Lear and Romeo and Juliet, Antigone, and Mother Courage and Her Children.
Harris worked extensively on and Off-Broadway, including a 1989 performance at Second Stage Theatre in What a Man Weighs.
One of her breakthrough performances was in the original cast of Paul Rudnick's Jeffrey, in which she was the sole female cast member.
In 1992, Harris made her Broadway debut in Four Baboons Adoring the Sun.
That same year, she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for her portrayal in the Off-Broadway play Bella, Belle of Byelorussia.
In 1993, she received a second Drama Desk nomination for her performance in Jeffrey.
Harris's work in Jeffrey led to numerous television guest appearances, including a recurring role on the sitcom Frasier as Frasier's conniving agent Bebe Glazer from 1993 to 2004.
Harris co-starred in several short-lived series, including The 5 Mrs. Buchanans, Union Square, The Beast, and It's All Relative, but played notable guest roles on multiple hit series, including Ghost Whisperer, Murphy Brown, Ally McBeal, Six Feet Under, Frasier and Ellen.

Harris won a Tony Award in 2002 as a Featured Actress in a Musical for her performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
In addition to television and theater, she has made various film appearances, including Memento, Addams Family Values, Nurse Betty and Phantom Thread.
Harris was born in Fort Worth, Texas, one of two daughters.
On her mother's side, she is a descendant of one of the brothers of Marion Sansom, a 20th-century rancher and civic leader.
Sansom Park is named after him.
She began acting as a youngster, attending Arlington Heights High School.
She won both a Drama Desk and Tony Award in 2002 as a Featured Actress in a Musical for playing the role of Mrs. Meers in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Harris played Martha Huber's sister Felicia Tilman on the ABC drama series Desperate Housewives in 2004.
The narrative saw Felicia arrive on Wisteria Lane to discover who was behind her sister's murder.
She soon came to the conclusion that Paul Young was responsible, but before she could act out her revenge, she was attacked by his son Zach Young.

She departed at the end of the second series by faking her own murder, framing Paul, and sending him to prison.
She returned to Desperate Housewives for the series' seventh season.
On playing the character Harris commented:
"People do find Felicia evil. I think she's just determined. She's a zealot pursuing an objective that no-one wants her to pursue. And it makes her really eccentric. And even though a man she's pursuing is the one who committed murder, he's only considered creepy by people and Felicia is always considered evil. I think that's so interesting because he's really the bad person. She's just trying to get him caught. But she is extreme. I think she doesn't stop when others would. She keeps on, she keeps pursuing and I think that is a scary thing. She just keeps scraping away until she eventually gets what she wants. And if she doesn't get it one way, she'll go around and do it another way. She's completely unapologetic about it. She doesn't care what anybody else thinks."
In summer 2006, she appeared as Vera Charles in the Kennedy Center's production of Mame opposite Christine Baranski in the title role.
