Career
=Early career=
Left in financial difficulty by her husband's death, Weld's mother put Weld to work as a model to support the family. As the young actress told Life in 1971:
My father's family came from Tuxedo Park, and they offered to take us kids and pay for our education, on the condition that Mama never see us again. Mama was an orphan who had come here from London but so far as my father's family was concerned, she was strictly from the gutter. I have to give Mama credit—she refused to give us up… So I became the supporter of the family, and I had to take my father's place in many, many ways. I was expected to make up for everything that had ever gone wrong in Mama's life. She became obsessed with me, pouring out her pent-up love—her alleged love—on me, and it's been heavy on my shoulders ever since. Mama still thinks I owe everything to her.
Weld's mother secured her an agent using her résumé from modeling. She made her acting debut on television at the age of 12, and her feature film debut that year in a bit role in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock crime drama The Wrong Man.{{cite book|last=Vickers|first=Graham|title=Chasing Lolita: How Popular Culture Corrupted Nabokov's Little Girl All Over Again|url=https://archive.org/details/chasinglolitahow00vick_950|url-access=limited|publisher=Chicago Review Press|year=2008|page=[https://archive.org/details/chasinglolitahow00vick_950/page/n120 111]|isbn=9781556529689}}

=Stardom=
Weld appeared in 1965 in the Norman Jewison film The Cincinnati Kid, opposite Steve McQueen. There was some controversy when she refused to meet the local governor at a fund-raiser for hurricane victims, jumping out of a car in view of 70,000 people.{{Cite news|title=A Blue Monday for Tuesday Weld|date=October 27, 1965|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|id={{ProQuest|155276508}}}} The film was a major commercial success.
Weld got a star role in Lord Love a Duck (1966), with Roddy McDowall, Ruth Gordon, and Harvey Korman. Weld received excellent reviews, but the film was a box office disappointment.
She followed it playing Abigail in a TV adaptation of The Crucible (1967), opposite George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst. After guest starring on Cimarron Strip (1967), Weld had the starring role in Pretty Poison (1968), co-starring Anthony Perkins. The film became a cult success, but she disliked the film and did not get on with director Noel Black.
Around this time, Weld became famous for turning down roles in films that succeeded at the box office, such as Bonnie and Clyde, Rosemary's Baby, True Grit, Cactus Flower, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.{{cite web |last=Jordan |first=Louis |title=The Real Tuesday Weld |url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/article/the-real-tuesday-weld |work=Slant Magazine |date=September 20, 2011}} In a 1971 interview with The New York Times, Weld explained that she had chosen to reject these roles precisely because she believed they would be commercial successes: "Do you think I want a success? I refused 'Bonnie and Clyde' because I was nursing at the time, but also because deep down I knew it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of 'Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue' or whatever it was called. It reeked of success".
The films Weld did make included I Walk the Line (1970), opposite Gregory Peck; A Safe Place (1971), co-starring Jack Nicholson and Orson Welles and directed by Henry Jaglom, and Play It as It Lays (1972), again with Perkins, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.{{Cite news|last=Haber|first=J.|date=October 22, 1972|title=The Evolution of a Hollywood Brat|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|id={{ProQuest|157045364}}}}
=Peak years of success=
Weld began to work again in television, starring in Reflections of Murder (1974) and F. Scott Fitzgerald in Hollywood (1975) in which she played Zelda Fitzgerald.

She said she preferred television. "What I dig about TV is the pace", she said. "Two weeks for even a heavy part – great. Too much thinking about a role is a disaster for me. I mean, let's do it, let's get it done."{{Cite news |title=Forever Tuesday |last=Burke |first=Tom |date=April 30, 1978 |work=Chicago Tribune |page=i42}}

In feature films, Weld had a supporting role in Michael Mann's 1981 film Thief, opposite James Caan. She played Al Pacino's wife in Author! Author! (1982), and had a supporting role in Heartbreak Hotel (1988).
In 1984, she appeared in Sergio Leone's gangster film Once Upon a Time in America, playing a jeweler's secretary who is in on a plan to steal a shipment of diamonds. During the robbery, her character goads Robert De Niro's character, David "Noodles" Aaronson, into "raping" her with her complicity. She later meets up with the gang from the robbery, and becomes the moll of James Woods' character Max Bercovicz. The performance earned Weld a BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actress of 1984.
On TV, Weld was in Scorned and Swindled (1984), Circle of Violence (1986) and Something in Common (1986).
