A lot of student directors used to pick other students to be in their graduate films, so. I ended up doing a couple of them just for fun. Eventually, I got an agent through a friend and I did some commercials; then I got Knots Landing.
You know, when they called me about the role, I thought Knots Landing was a show about a houseboat with Andy Griffith!
I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.
By the time I came to L.A. I'd already cried on movies of the week with two of the women from 'Knots Landing'.
Knots Landing is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Everything I have in life comes from Knots Landing.
