Harden began her college education at American universities in Europe and returned to the US to complete her studies at the University of Texas in 1983; went on to earn an MFA at NYU, and, thereafter, embarked on her acting career.

Although she had acted in a movie as early as 1986, in the little-known The Imagemaker (1986), her first mainstream role, coming alongside some TV movie work, was as a sultry femme fatale in the Coen Brothers' cleverly offbeat homage to the gangster movie, Miller's Crossing (1990).

'Variety' Review by John Anderson

First-rate performances, an uncompromising point of view and a fresh take on a well-worn movie subject -- madness -- make helmer-scribe Joseph Greco's debut "Canvas" the kind of indie feature that could easily cross over from festival awards to respectable B.O.

Recent projects include "Elsa & Fred" starring the legendary Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Plummer, the ABC comedy series "Trophy Wife" which starred Malin Ackerman, Bradley Whitford and Michaela Watkins and Woody Allen’s "Magic in the Moonlight", starring Emma Stone, Colin Firth and Jacki Weaver.
