Her first major theatrical film appearance was in the teen sex comedy Hot Dog... The Movie in 1984. Since then, Tweed has appeared in over 60 films, including Detroit Rock City, produced by Gene Simmons in 1999.

She occasionally acts with her younger sister, Tracy Tweed, and has also appeared in Playboy photo spreads.
