She followed this with her role as the female lead in The Golden Child alongside Eddie Murphy that same year. In 1990 she appeared in the film Tripwire. In 1992 she starred opposite James Spader in Storyville. But despite these early successes, her career developed only intermittently, with her 1995 co-starring role in Men of War alongside Dolph Lundgren perhaps being her most memorable. In 2003 she starred in the film Hey DJ.

Lewis also appeared in a cover-featured pictorial in the July 1993 issue of Playboy magazine.
