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.

“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“What is a life or two, Guy! Some people are better off dead. Like your wife and my father, for instance.”
