For many years, Henley dated actor, writer and director Stephen Tobolowsky, whom she met while they were students at Southern Methodist University. Their relationship ended in 1988.
Henley adapted her 1984 play The Miss Firecracker Contest into a 1989 film starring Holly Hunter entitled Miss Firecracker.

Her play Family Week was produced at MCC Theater, New York City in 2010, directed by Jonathan Demme.
Her plays written in the 1980s have been characterized as naturalistic portrayals of the relationship between the inner self and the world, and her characters often are outsiders and nonconformists unable to share their feelings and experiences. Her plays of the 1990s, including Abundance, the first play not set in the South, are considered more experimental than her earlier work. Henley applies new techniques and styles in these plays. Her play Revelers employs some older and traditional theatre techniques.
Crimes of the Heart was Henley's first professionally produced play. It opened at the Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1978, where it was declared co-winner of a new American play contest. The play then moved to New York and was produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club. Crimes of the Heart won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1981 as well as the award for Best American Play of 1981 from the New York Drama Critics' Circle. The play also earned Henley a nomination for a Tony Award, and her screenplay for the film version of Crimes of the Heart was nominated for an Oscar as Best Adapted Screenplay. Henley has stated that growing up with three sisters was a major inspiration for her play Crimes of the Heart.
