Morris continued to work in films (notably ones directed by Rod Lurie) and had a brief stint on the Xena series in 1999. After seeing her in the film, The Contender (which DreamWorks distributed), Steven Spielberg cast her in two successive films. Morris became the spokesperson for a new UV-Protective t-shirt line being launched by the Sun Safety Alliance (SSA), in collaboration with the Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. SSA has teamed up with AYANA Apparel to provide fashion-forward UV-Protective t-shirts that protect your skin while maintaining your sense of style. As someone with fair skin, how could I not get involved in trying to prevent something so preventable?” Morris was born in Cincinnati, Ohio (though CBS News identifies her birthplace as Dallas).
