Harring is best known for her performance in David Lynch's 2001 movie Mulholland Drive, opposite Naomi Watts and Justin Theroux. She played both the characters of Rita (an amnesiac who names herself after Rita Hayworth when seeing the name on a poster for the movie Gilda) and Camilla.[19] In response to her performance and the choice of her for the role, film critic Roger Ebert wrote, "Not many actresses would be bold enough to name themselves after Rita Hayworth, but Harring does, because she can. Slinky and voluptuous in clinging gowns, all she has to do is stand there and she's the first good argument in 55 years for a Gilda remake."[20] Comparisons were also made between Harring and Ava Gardner by the International Herald Tribune.[21][22] In 2002, she was awarded the American Latino Media Arts (ALMA) Award for Outstanding Actress in a Feature Film for her performance. Harring went on to work twice more with Lynch—as an anthropomorphic rabbit in the limited series Rabbits (2002)[23] and in a cameo appearance in Inland Empire (2006).[24]

She also guest-starred on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2003, Law & Order: Criminal Intent in 2010, and NCIS: Los Angeles in 2012 and 2016.[32] Harring was also cast in the independent film The Loner directed by Daniel Grove.[33] In 2016 she was cast in the English-language remake of the film Inside,[34] and in Legendary's first digital film The Thinning, alongside Logan Paul and Peyton List.[citation needed] In 2022, she appeared in the romantic comedy Father of the Bride playing Diego Boneta's mother.[35]
