Cavanagh has continued to work steadily since her debut in "A League of Their Own," with credits in film, TV, voice work, and theater. Among her more notable roles is voicing Judy Neutron in the Jimmy Neutron animated franchise. She even portrayed director Penny Marshall in a 2019 episode of "Drunk History" parodying the history of baseball.
"So many young women have come up to me and said, 'This was the movie we watched on our way to the championship game,' or 'This is the reason I wanted to play sports.' And I think that it really rallied a you[n]ger generation of women to play sports. And I think that's so important," Cavanagh told Houston Public Media.
"We were so concerned with making the story of the real women because a lot of them were consulting on this movie with us," she said. "We wanted them to be proud of what we were doing. It was their story, and it had not been told. And we just wanted it to make them proud and to be the best story possible."
