“Star Trek”, “Twilight Zone,” “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis,” “My Three Sons,” “The Outer Limits,” “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,” “I Spy,” “That Girl,” “Hawaii Five-O,” “Mannix,” “Evening Shade,” “Murder, She Wrote,” HBO’s “Dream On,” Tea Leoni series “The Naked Truth,” “Touched by an Angel,” “Diagnosis Murder,” “Columbo,” “Providence” and “90210.” 

She was also a seen regularly on the big screen as well in including "The Player," "Back To School," "Boris and Natasha," Blake Edwards’ “That’s Life,” and “Meatballs III.”

She was voice of the misguided Miss Finch in Follow That Bird and a Pteranodon in the Dinosaurs episode: "Nature Calls."
