After their affair was over, the Prince of Wales continued to support her by attending many of her plays as she embarked on her new career as an actress, in which she managed to play prime roles such as Rosalind in "As You Like It" and Lady Macbeth in "Macbeth".

Movies such as "Mystic River" (2003) and "Love Actually" (2003) followed, as did a second Oscar nomination for "Kinsey" (2004).

Although she failed, once again to win the Oscar, the good roles continued to come, with parts in movies such as "The Squid and the Whale" (2005), "Mr. Holmes" (2015) and "Sully" (2016) as well as "Savages" (2007) for which she received a third Oscar nomination, this time losing out to Marion Cotillard as she had to Cate Blanchett in 2004 and Julia Roberts in 2000.

She managed this at the Spanish Grand Prix of 1975, which was run over a shortened distance after the deaths of five spectators. The race was halted on lap 29 after accident debris from Rolf Stommelen's car had flown into the spectator area and half points were awarded, giving Lombardi that all important half point to make history.
