In her iconic role as Sgt Dee Dee McCall, from 1984 to 1990, she helped
to make the NBC hit series "Hunter" a true international hit with a fan
base around the world. Her strong portrayal became a powerful positive
influence for many women and helped to change how women were seen in
crime dramas for television.
Due to the fact that her enormous Hunter (1984) co-star Fred Dryer is a foot
taller than she is, she stood on an egg crate while they were in
the same shot so that both of them could be seen.
Trained as a Mezzo Soprano with extensive theatre and musical credits.
