She was in the original London cast of Hair in 1968 at the Shaftesbury Theatre, also directed by O'Horgan. She went on to direct and appear in the show in Paris. She also appeared in the original London production of The Rocky Horror Show.\n\nHer first TV appearance was in The White Rabbit in 1967, and she went on to appear in a number of long-running series over the next four decades.\n\nHer film credits include roles in Come Back Peter (1969), Le Mur de l'Atlantique (1970), Every Home Should Have One (1970), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), Shock Treatment (1981), Real Life (1984), Defence of the Realm (1986), M. Butterfly (1993), Wimbledon (2004) and A Royal Night Out (2015).\n\nIn 2013, Leventon appeared in the role of Constance, the Madwoman of the Flea Market, in the British premiere of Jerry Herman's Dear World at the Charing Cross Theatre, London. In 2023, Leventon appeared in the role of Edith Tellmann in the British premiere of Bjørg Vik's The Journey to Venice at the Finborough Theatre, London.
