She grew up in Mill Valley, Ca, and got her break in acting when George Lucas came to her high school to cast for his movie American Graffiti (1973). She followed up her one-line role four years later with Lifeguard (1976), and then several roles in the late 1970s and 1980s.

She starred in the TV series Family Law (1999), but her contract stipulated that she could not work later than 6 pm, so she could be home with her husband Bruce Abbott, son [error] (b.
