On the small screen, Davidovich has fared somewhat better. She earned a CableACE Award nomination for her performance as an inmate in "Prison Stories: Women on the Inside" (HBO, 1991). Davidovich also received respectable reviews as the social worker counseling abused children in the award-winning "Indictment: The McMartin Trial" (HBO, 1995), as an FBI agent who befriends an Amish widow (Patty Duke) in "Harvest of Fire" (CBS, 1996) and as a tough-talking woman who isn't what she appears to be in the hostage drama "Deadly Silence" (HBO, 1997).
Davidovich kept her career momentum going with appearances in several made-for-television movies and supporting roles in lesser films, and in 1999 she gathered renewed attention for her supporting work in "Gods and Monsters," the moody, much-heralded biopic of "Frankenstein" director James Whale (Ian McKellan) in which she played the fed-up ex of Whale's studly gardener (Brendan Fraser). She also re-teamed with Shelton for his boxing comedy "Play It to the Bone" (1999) as the road-tripping girlfriend of prizefighter Antonio Banderas; and had a role opposite Russell Crowe in acclaimed TV writer David E. Kelley's big-screen hockey comedy "Mystery, Alaska" (1999), directed by Jay Roach. Davidovich returned to television in 2001 for the well-received NBC miniseries "Steve Martini's The Judge" (based on the bestseller) and other telepics, as well as for a recurring role on the first season of the ratings-challenged CBS C.I.A. drama "The Agency" (2001- ). In 2003, she re-emerged on the big screen for two high-profile projects helmed by her longtime companion Shelton. First up was the intense "Dark Blue," in which she effectively played the long-suffering prison guard wife of Kurt Russell's corrupt Los Angeles detective amid the backdrop of the 1992 Los Angeles riots. She also re-joined Shelton with an appearance in the crime thriller "Hollywood Homicide" opposite Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett.
