Born Mary Debra Winger in Cleveland Heights, Ohio to a Jewish family, she spent several years in Israel, and served in the Israeli Armed Forces. After returning to the United States, she was involved in an automobile accident and suffered a cerebral haemorrhage as a result.

With time on her hands to think about her life, she decided that, if she recovered, she would move to California and become an actress.
