Significant roles include famous cult arc on '''TWIN PEAKS''', hired directly by '''David Lynch''' himself, plus the 1985 cult horror movie '''CREATURE''', a famous episode of '''RIPTIDE''' that parodied '''MOONLIGHTING''' and was written about in ''Entertainment Weekly'' and ''The LA Times'', that got buzz at the time for mocking/parodying "Moonlighting", which beat it in the ratings, leading to "Riptide"'s cancellation. (She played a mock version of Cybill Shepherd's role.) Also an arc on '''BAYWATCH''' and multiple major TV shows in the 80s and 90s (incl.  '''St. Elsewhere, The Twilight Zone, Happy Days, Beauty and the Beast, Magnum, P.I., The Fall Guy,''' and '''Night Court'''), plus a string of TV and feature films.

One of her episodes was notable too for being one of '''Diane Keaton''''s first and last directing ventures in TV, very noteworthy at the time.

Retired now but once quite notable, major credits AND sources on page, passes  plus definite "cult status
