She performed Marigolds; Crimes of the Heart; and many other stage performances in California, New York, and Texas.
Mona's been cast in over 50 films and TV movies. She has filmed four projects with director, Richard Linklater who also has taken Mona's acting classes. You can see her as "Mitch's ear-pulling mom" in Dazed and Confused, and in his award-winning animated feature, Walking Life. Her first "Mom" role was co-starring as the mother of star Christian Slater in The Legend of Billie Jean. Recently she worked in the cast of River's End, a coming-of-age story in which she co-starred with Barry Corbin and William Katt. Mona can be seen in many co-starring and supporting roles, like the 20th Century Fox film, Hope Floats, directed by Forest Whitaker
