As an adult, she had trouble getting work in the early 1970s because producers were going for less pretty, more hippie-like, troubled youth. It all changed, she says, the night "Charlie's Angels" (1976) premiered on television. After that, she had no problems.
Attended Grover Cleveland High School with Charles Martin Smith. They performed in school musicals and dramas.
Attended the 2006 Twilight Zone Convention at the Hilton Hasbrouck Heights, Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, August 12-13, 2006.

Former model.
Her agent wanted to turn down the role of Vivien Leigh in The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980) (TV) because the part was designated as a day player. She insisted on doing the role, believing that everyone would be waiting to see the actress playing Leigh. Sure enough, as Scarlett, she was on the cover of countless TV supplements and magazines.
Mother of Katie Gill and Cody Gill.
Was cast in bit roles portraying Vivien Leigh in both The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980) (TV) and Gable and Lombard (1976) because her dark hair and very fine features give her a passing resemblance to the actress.
While at home on May 23, 2006, was startled by the sound of high-powered sports car careening out of control towards her. The Ferarri Testarossa was traveling down the winding Cornell Rd in Agoura Hills, California at a high rate of speed before losing control, flipping over, and landing in a horse coral owned by the actress. Two men died in the accident, one of them an off-duty officer with the CHP (California Highway Patrol) in charge of apprehending speeders on mountain roads. The actress was shaken, but not injured in the crash.
