Her first film appearance was in the horror film, C.H.U.D. (1984), soon followed by a guest appearance in the 1985 Miami Vice episode Nobody Lives Forever. Greist also appeared in a few 1980s films, including Brazil (1985), Michael Mann's Manhunter (1986), Throw Momma from the Train (1987) and Punchline (1988). Greist continued to appear in films and television into the 1990s, with roles in such productions as Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993) and Roswell (1994). In 1995, she played Emily Young opposite comedians Sinbad and the late Phil Hartman in the film Houseguest, a Randall Miller-directed family comedy. During the 1990s, Greist also appeared in a number of made-for-television films. After appearing on an episode of Judging Amy in 2002, she disappeared abruptly from the screen.
