In the spring of 1985, Goodwin was cast as Tiffany Holloway on the NBC sitcom 227 as a series regular during the show's first season. Goodwin's mother was unhappy in California and wanted to move back to New York, so she was let out of her contract and written out of the series after the second season, where Goodwin was now a recurring guest star. She reprised the role for the final time in a season three episode ("The Sing-Off").

She appeared in the 1993 HBO movie, Strapped as Latisha Jordan. In 1998 she appeared on Broadway again in Paul Simon's musical The Capeman.
