In the fall of 1990, Kidder appeared as a singer who becomes a murder victim in the Canadian television film "White Room" (1990). In December that year, Kidder was seriously injured in a car accident on the set of the television series "Nancy Drew and Daughter" which left her partially paralyzed as a result of spinal injury. She was unable to work for two years, causing her financial difficulties, resulting in debts of over $800,000. Kidder attempted to sue the Canadian producer, Nelvana, for $1 million in damages but did not receive a settlement, and her launching of the suit rendered her ineligible for Canadian workers' compensation. Kidder returned to the screen with an uncredited cameo appearance in the comedy film "Delirious" (1991), appearing as a woman in a washroom. This was followed by a role as a psychic in "To Catch a Killer" (1992), a Canadian television thriller film based on the crimes of John Wayne Gacy. She had several small roles in 1994, including in the Disney Channel film "Windrunner", as well as another uncredited appearance in "Maverick". She also played a bartender at the Broken Skull Tavern in "Under a Killing Moon", an IBM PC adventure game.
