Personal Life
Plimpton is a member of the Carradine family.
Plimpton's high-profile relationship with River Phoenix, including their appearance together at the Academy Awards, overshadowed her work. The relationship ended due to her objection to Phoenix's recreational drug use, from which he died in 1993.
Plimpton was engaged to stage actor Jon Patrick Walker in March 1995. The couple were planning to wed in April 1996, according to Plimpton's spokeswomen. Shortly thereafter, however, the couple announced they would not be proceeding with their nuptials.
