Barkin is best known for her roles in Diner (1982), The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), The Big Easy (1986), Down by Law (1986), Sea of Love (1989), Switch (1991), The Fan (1996), Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).
Back in 1984, the Bronx-born beauty enjoyed a hot fling with the eighties heartthrob where they spent months 'window-shopping on Rodeo Drive by day and barbecuing at night.' '[Ellen had] the best smile in all five boroughs,' Val wrote in his 2020 memoir I'm Your Huckleberry.

Kilmer described Barkin as 'one of the enchantresses who got away, no doubt due to my unmanageable preoccupations, my neglect.
' Things clearly did not end amicably with the Tony winner and the Grammy nominee, who told ELLE in 2006 that she would be the ex he 'would fear most as a witness for the prosecution' adding: 'Hell hath no fury.'
