She gained her first major role as Jessica Bennett in the NBC soap opera Passions, from 1999 to 2000. She left to pursue other interests, later stating, "I really had one of the smallest roles on Passions, so I didn't get too involved... I was able to leave pretty easily".

The series was canceled after ten episodes. In 2004, Winstead played a supporting role in MTV's made-for-television film Monster Island.
