Actress. Born in Laramie, Wyoming, she began her stage career in 1961, debuting at the American Shakespeare Festival in Connecticut and went on to premier on Broadway. In 1966, she became a member of the Theater Atlanta Repertory Company and toured the country which resulted in her making her screen debut in “Night of the Witches” (1970), followed by “The Big Doll House” (1971) and “Foxy Brown” (1974). In addition to stage and screen roles, her deep, cultured voice earned her voice-over work, and one of her last credited appearances was on the NBC TV soap “Days of Our Lives” in 1978.
