Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Hagerty mostly appeared in made-for-television movies or supporting roles in Hollywood films, including a part in the 2005 film, "Just Friends" and 2006 film, "She's The Man". She was also cast in the 1994 "Designing Women" spin-off "Women of the House," but she was committed to another project when filming began, so Valerie Mahaffey substituted for her in several episodes.
