In May 2017 she assumed the direction of the Camilo Henríquez Theater, succeeding the playwright Ramón Griffero.

Under her administration as minister, a set of reforms to intellectual property law was drafted and discussed. It was approved unanimously by the National Congress on 13 January 2010, and promulgated as Law No. 20,435 on 4 May of that year, during the government of Sebastián Piñera.

Urrutia quickly became involved in the political world by actively participating in the Chilean Actors Union (Sidarte), becoming its general secretary and its president in 2001. During the first government of Michelle Bachelet, she was appointed president of the National Council of Culture and the Arts in 2006. This is equivalent to the position of culture minister in other countries.

A year later she participated, also on TVN, in El milagro de vivir [es] , her first telenovela. In 1994, after starring in the television series Jaque mate [es] , she joined the Television Corporation of the Catholic University of Chile (UC TV), where she remained until 2002. A highlight of that period was her performance in Fuera de control [es] , as Sarita Mellafe, considered by critics as one of the best villains seen on Chilean television. In 2003 she returned to TVN, appearing in the telenovela Puertas adentro [es] , but would return to UC TV the following year, acting in Tentación [es] and Gatas y tuercas [es] . Her film debut came in 1993, in the movie Johnny 100 Pesos by local filmmaker Gustavo Graef Marino.

The exercise of her profession began very early. The first play in which she performed was Esperando la carroza [es] , in 1987, under the direction of Raúl Osorio. Her career in television began in a Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) series in 1989, thanks to an invitation from the producer Sonia Fuchs [es] . She played, with great success, Juanita Fernández Solar, who was later declared the first Chilean saint under the name Teresa of the Andes.
